And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there's a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena--whether it's a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. \n\u003ci\u003eDaring Greatly\u003c\/i\u003e is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brown, Brené\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Avery Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2015-04-07\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Self-Help \/ Personal Growth \/ Self-Esteem|Psychology \/ Interpersonal Relations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Courage|Assertiveness (Psychology)|Risk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781592408412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781592408412\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avery Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53030272631065,"sku":"SP-9781592408412","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9781592408412_spiral.png?v=1787218040","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/daring-greatly-how-the-courage-to-be-vulnerable-transforms-the-way-we-live-love-parent-and-lead","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
