For me this is a great reminder of what I got from her former works. If you are looking for more practical application it would be a better bet to read all 4 of the books that were condensed to create this book. Emotional safety and…

I liked this book but at times, I struggled to relate. I felt that as a LGBTQ person of color, it is not as easy for me to bring my whole self to work and be vulnerable the way she advocates. The world is a dangerous place and we do see…

A great leadership book, I do find it easier to listen to Brene Brown than read her work. With that said, I still glean a lot from her books and this one is no different. How we lead people determines many outcomes and the more informed we…

The main thing I learned from Dare to Lead was that "#1 New York Times Bestseller" and "Wall Street Journal Bestseller" are no indication of the quality of writing or content. The style of writing is bizarre: Brené Brown is a decorated…

This downloadable audio is read by the author and provides leaders of organizations to “be self aware and lead from the heart.” And “stay curious and show up.” This author is a great story teller and teaches you how to build your own…

This book doesn't have a lot of techniques or tricks. It's more deep philosophy about leading from a place of wholeness, or least trying to. I got a lot out of it.

An excellent book for managers in any industry to guide them in being better organizational leaders. As the author points out the best leaders are those who listen to staff who work with them, ask their opinions, and show vulnerability…

Lots of repetition from Rising Strong, but in the context of work. Totally worthwhile since the material is challenging and bears repeating, plus it's a helpful new angle. A book packed with useful information about how work places can be…

Many people I talk to say she’s a great speaker, and there were a few nuggets to be gleaned here, but I struggled getting through this book. Her writing style just didn’t do it for me.

I picked this book up as a Peak Pick at the library. I have tried to read Brene Brown’s books in the past, and I could never get into them. I am not sure why; perhaps I was not ready to hear what she had to say. I found this book…

I've often heard Brené Brown cited in other works and this is the first full book of hers I have read. I listened to the audio, which was tricky because this book is full of so many good ideas and research. I've ordered my own personal…

I have the audio but want to go back and make copies of some of her amazing ideas. Wonderful and inspiring find. Because of this I await a paper copy.

An idealistic, well-written book by Brene Brown (famous on the internet for her TED vulnerability talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability) that promotes leadership qualities in an increasingly connected, changing…
