DARING GREATLY


"The Power of Vulnerability" is near the top of my favorite TED Talks list. Brene' Brown is not only an interesting TED talker, she is also a great author.

Yesterday I received one of her books as a birthday gift. If DARING GREATLY is anything like Brene's TED Talks, it should be a great read. 



The book title was taken from the speech "The Man in the Arena" and this is the passage that made the speech famous:

“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.

Thank you Melody, for such a special birthday gift.
