DARING GREATLY


Interesting book by Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social WorkBrené has spent the past thirteen years studying vulnerability, courage, worthiness and shame. She is the author of Rising Strong, Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection.

The DARING GREATLY 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.
