There are more than 300,000 European childhood cancer survivors (in 2020, they will be nearly half a million): two-thirds of them have some late side effects of treatment, that are severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.

Brené Brown’s book, “Daring Greatly,” has made a significant impact, earning the coveted title of the #1 New York Times bestseller with over 2 million copies sold. Brown, a renowned thought leader, not only shares her transformative insights but also extends her message through podcasts like “Dare to Lead” and “Unlocking Us.”
At the heart of “Daring Greatly” is a revolutionary perspective on how we approach leadership, love, work, parenting, and education. Brown introduces us to the profound power of vulnerability. She opens with a powerful quote from Theodore Roosevelt, reminding us that it’s not the critic who matters, but the one willing to step into the arena, even if it means facing dust, sweat, and blood. This quote sets the tone for the book’s exploration of vulnerability as a source of strength.
Drawing from her twelve years of groundbreaking research, Brown challenges the prevailing cultural notion that vulnerability equates to weakness. Instead, she asserts that vulnerability is the purest manifestation of courage. It’s the space where we confront difficult emotions such as fear, grief, and disappointment, but also where we find the wellspring of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.
Brown emphasizes that when we shield ourselves from vulnerability, we inadvertently distance ourselves from the very experiences that infuse our lives with purpose and meaning. “Daring Greatly” is not about tallying wins and losses; it’s a treatise on courage. In a world that often perpetuates a sense of “never enough” and where fear becomes a constant companion, embracing vulnerability is a subversive act. It’s uncomfortable, occasionally even perilous, and certainly not without its risks, including the possibility of criticism and emotional hurt.
However, as Brown convincingly argues, the alternative—standing on the fringes of our own lives, watching from the sidelines, and wondering what could have been if we only had the courage to step into the arena—is far more uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful. Whether it’s embarking on a new relationship, navigating a critical business meeting, immersing ourselves in the creative process, or addressing a challenging family conversation, “Daring Greatly” presents itself as both a philosophy and a practice.
Ultimately, it’s a compelling call to action, a powerful new vision for embracing our vulnerabilities, and a willingness to be authentically seen. It encourages us to reject the confines of fear and instead embrace the profound strength that emerges when we dare to be vulnerable and step boldly into the arena of our lives. In a world yearning for authenticity and connection, “Daring Greatly” offers a roadmap for a more courageous and fulfilling existence.
