Episode 7 - Books That Will Change Your Life (A Series), Part 1: Daring Greatly by Brené Brown
Today, we’re going to talk about books, but not just any books. These are books that could possibly change your life.
Over a series of podcast episodes, I’ll be sharing the books that have dramatically impacted my own life in recent years along with personal anecdotes and insights that, hopefully, inspire you to utilize their ideas to change yours, too.
First up is Daring Greatly by Brené Brown, a book about courage and vulnerability and how they are both required if we are to show up in our lives as the main event, the person in the arena who is daring greatly, rather than watching from the sidelines.
SHOW NOTES:
The full quote from Theodore Roosevelt:
“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 errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
