Daring Greatly

Chances are, you've likely heard of BrenĂ© Brown by now.  Back in 2010, she did a TED talk on 'the power of vulnerability' and it went viral.  And if this sounds boring to you, it's not.  There's a reason it struck a nerve with so many.  And after all these years, it's still one of the most listened to TED talks.

I've included the presentation below.


Before that, though, I'd like to mention two of BrenĂ©'s books, Daring Greatly and Braving the Wilderness.  I've been in Daring Greatly for some time, hoping to truly absorb its message.  It's about our willingness to remain in the fighting arena - that dangerous place of risk and blood and connection - by putting it all out there, all the time.  It's about having the courage to be vulnerable again and again.  It's about the messy stuff.  It's about freedom. (And while I haven't yet read Braving the Wilderness, her new book, I'm looking forward to it!)

This is so important, friend.


So enjoy the TED talk, ask yourself the tough questions, and dare greatly in all you do!
