(From Macmillan).

It also talks about owning and engaging in vulnerability and shame resilience. The book describes feelings of shame and unworthiness and how people have a hard time admitting they are doing certain things. The title of the book is taken from the 1910 speech Citizenship in a Republic by Theodore Roosevelt, in which he stated, "who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." In the book, Brown equates vulnerability with being something hard to do and that we need to "dare greatly" in order to overcome that vulnerability. ![]() It is a New York Times bestseller and covers topics of vulnerability and shame.
