Daring Greatly

This non-fiction work by shame and vulnerability researcher Brené Brown looks at the courage it takes to be vulnerable, look at our own shame and face it head on. She says, "Daring greatly is not about winning or losing. It's about courage. In a world where scarcity and shame dominate and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive." 

What is it similar to? The author has a detailed list of work she feels is related to this book on her website. I'll let you take a look. She has also written a more prescriptive book called The Gifts of Imperfection on a similar thread. 

Am I in the mood? If you feel like doing some soul searching, laughing, crying and thinking about life, go right ahead. If you feel like you are stuck and need some advice for moving forward in relationships, work, or self-confidence, stop what you're doing and go grab this book. 

Find the book? I read it on my tablet using the Kobo app.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt ashamed, vulnerable or not good enough: aka the whole human race. If you don't read the book, at least watch one of her TED talks.
