I was threatened, gossiped about and even once sued by a school board (whom I had just won an FOI case against). For as many people who were grateful for my work, there were some who seethed every time I exposed an injustice or revealed an uncomfortable truth. When I was working in newspapers, I quickly developed a thick skin. This book really struck me hard as a writer who lives out loud. It has so many big and wonderful lessons - and every uncomfortable moment and gut-wrenching discussion about things I have always avoided (vulnerability, I am looking at you) was worth it. Anyone with big dreams should be reading this book. In Daring Greatly, the author talks heavily about being vulnerable (it’s a good thing, she says, and important), having intense courage and disallowing the shame that undermines our ability to really go for it. But while stewing in the discomfort, I also found myself nodding and finding new wisdom in the words.
When she spoke of people who “don’t do vulnerability,” I couldn’t help but think that’s me. It’s about the power of having the courage to be vulnerable and live your truth, which Brown purports can get you free to live a wholehearted life.ĭaring Greatly made me uncomfortable. Over the last week, I have read Brené Brown’s book, Daring Greatly.
