"Daring Greatly" is a book about shame, happiness, and why we need to learn to lean into vulnerability. The author, Brene Brown, is a shame & vulnerability researcher, a professor at the University of Huston, and the presenter of a TED Talk about these topics that went viral. It's a good book that's packed with way more content and nuggets of wisdom than I was able to adequately capture here.
"Daring Greatly" comes from a speech by Teddy Roosevelt:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; ... who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” —Theodore Roosevelt
"Daring Greatly" is, to the author Brene Brown, all about being willing to be vulnerable. Going forth even if you're just as likely to fail while trying than you are to succeed. Because those who fail learn. And those who fail had a chance. Those who try and fail have lived. Those who didn't try failed to live. It is whole hearted living.
We have an epidemic of perceived scarcity. The opposite of scarcity is not "plenty", it is "enough". You feel like you're "not _____ enough". Fill in that blank with whatever you want.
