Brené Brown's book Daring Greatly has taken the US by storm and her TED talk is one of the top ten most watched TED talks of all time with approximately 10 million views. The book challenges the idea that vulnerability is a weakness and that by shutting ourselves off from our vulnerabilities we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. The book is a culmination of 12 years of social research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships, work, and parenting.

Watch her TED talk and apply for a free copy. If you read the book do come back and discuss on this thread.

I'd love this book. I have listened to her TED talks on shame and vulnerability and really enjoyed them.

Would love to read this, being someone who has made a few key poor choices and as a result stopped allowing myself to be vulnerable. There is a need for balance and wisdom in how and when to be vulnerable and who with I guess.

wow! There are certain things in my life that I NEED to change, so this would help me hugely; to understand myself better and more.

I think reading this book would transform my life. I am vulnerable, don't want to be, but perhaps I do need to understand why I am so, and learn how it works and the power it has.

Brene Brown is a legend.

I recommend all her work to every single person on the earth ever.

I've seen the talks, read the books and am now regularly embracing my vulnerability.
