The writing made it a little difficult to digest in places but the overall message was really interesting and altered my world view. I’ll be re-reading .

I would give 3.5 stars if I could. This took me a while to get through (not a page-turner...) but I do find myself referencing it frequently, both mentally and in conversations.
Some good basic principles for understanding yourself and other people!

Daring Greatly is a thought-provoking and powerful book that dives deep into the concepts of vulnerability, courage, shame, and connection. Brené Brown challenges the cultural idea that vulnerability is weakness and instead reframes it as the birthplace of true strength, creativity, and meaningful relationships.
What stands out most is Brown’s blend of research, storytelling, and personal insight. She breaks down complex psychological concepts into relatable examples, making the book both accessible and inspiring. Her work on shame resilience and wholehearted living is especially impactful, encouraging readers to lean into discomfort rather than hide from it.
That said, the book can feel a bit repetitive at times, and some sections circle back to ideas already covered in her earlier works. While this doesn’t take away from the overall message, readers familiar with her TED Talks or previous books might find less “new” content than expected.
Still, Daring Greatly offers a transformative perspective that resonates long after finishing the last page. It’s an empowering read for anyone seeking to live with more authenticity, courage, and connection.
Final Thoughts:
A deeply valuable guide to embracing vulnerability and living more fully. While slightly repetitive, its message is both practical and life-changing—well worth the read.
I was hoping for more concrete advice for how to force yourself to be more vulnerable.

I loved the information in this book! But I do recommend the audiobook because I don't think I could have finished it otherwise.
