Courage is borne out of vulnerability, not strength. This finding of Brené Brown’s research on shame and "wholeheartedness" shook the perfectionist ground beneath her own feet. And now it’s inspiring millions to reconsider the way they live, parent, and navigate relations with members of the opposite gender.

Brené Brown: Daring to Create Greatly

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending. &#160; Social scientist Bren&eacute; Brown has ignited a global conversation on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness. Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability&mdash;the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome&mdash;is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity, and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall. &#160; It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong. As a grounded theory researcher, Brown has listened as a range of people&mdash;from leaders in Fortune 500 companies and the military to artists, couples in long-term relationships, teachers, and parents&mdash;shared their stories of being brave, falling, and getting back up. She asked herself, What do these people with strong and loving relationships, leaders nurturing creativity, artists pushing innovation, and clergy walking with people through faith and mystery have in common? The answer was clear: They recognize the power of emotion and they&rsquo;re not afraid to lean in to discomfort. &#160; Walking into our stories of hurt can feel dangerous. But the process of regaining our footing in the midst of struggle is where our courage is tested and our values are forged. Our stories of struggle can be big ones, like the loss of a job or the end of a relationship, or smaller ones, like a conflict with a friend or colleague. Regardless of magnitude or circumstance, the rising strong process is the same: We reckon with our emotions and get curious about what we&rsquo;re feeling; we rumble with our stories until we get to a place of truth; and we live this process, every day, until it becomes a practice and creates nothing short of a revolution in our lives. Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness. It&rsquo;s the process, Brown writes, that teaches us the most about who we are. ONE OF GREATER GOOD&rsquo;S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR From the Hardcover edition.

In Get Rich, Lucky Bitch!, you'll get the tools and inspiration you need to go to the next level of wealth - whether you're starting from scratch or itching to break through the million-dollar mark. 

Denise Duffield-Thomas has been through the whole financial roller coaster herself - she has probably made every financial mistake possible! Finally, having had enough of underearning, she dedicated a year to practicing everything she knew about the law of attraction and applied it directly to money. As a result of all this work, her income doubled, then tripled, and in a few years she went from always being broke to being a successful entrepreneur. And in this audiobook, she teaches you how create the same shifts in your own life. 

This audiobook is the most practical manifestation tool you'll ever have. You'll get day-to-day actions, inspiration, kick-up-the-butt real talk, and loving advice. There's no amount of money you could want that's too big or too small. Denise will teach you to cut through years of underearning and chronic underserving, fly through your income goals, heal your money wounds, and break through old self-beliefs. No matter where you're starting from, if you're willing to uncover what's holding you back, Denise will help you create money miracles in your life.

Denise Duffield-Thomas - Get Rich, Lucky Bitch (Chapter 1)

In her #1 New York Times bestsellers, Bren&eacute; Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she&rsquo;s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don&rsquo;t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don&rsquo;t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don&rsquo;t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it&rsquo;s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we&rsquo;re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we&rsquo;re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can&rsquo;t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Bren&eacute; Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question:&#160; How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?&#160; In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, &ldquo;One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of skills and practices that are 100 percent teachable. It&rsquo;s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re here.&rdquo; Whether you&rsquo;ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you&rsquo;re new to Bren&eacute; Brown&rsquo;s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.

The Power Of Vulnerability | Brené Brown

TEDxKC talk synopsis: In our anxious world, we often protect ourselves by closing off parts of our lives that leave us feeling most vulnerable. Yet invulnerability has a price. When we knowingly or unknowingly numb ourselves to what we sense threatens us, we sacrifice an essential tool for navigating uncertain times -- joy. This talk will explore how and why fear and collective scarcity has profoundly dangerous consequences on how we live, love, parent, work and engage in relationships -- and how simple acts can restore our sense of purpose and meaning.

Speaker: Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work where she has spent the past 10 years studying courage, shame and authenticity. She is the Behavioral Health Scholar-in-Residence at the Council on Alcohol and Drugs and has written several books on her research.
