Why Trust Brene Brown’s Advice? Brene Brown’s experience in bringing the best out of her readers through connecting with their behavioral perception and helping them see their situations differently, made this book extraordinary especially when it comes to helping individuals see matters head on.
To dare and to rise to brave the storms of life, Brene Brown tries to talk directly to her readers and help them understand that they are worth more than the uneasy life that they may have lived.
Sometimes, people are challenged with the most unimaginable conditions in life. These challenges often get them too tired to even fight and face another day. However, as Brown explains in her book, these are the very challenges that strengthen individuals, making it easier for them to face life at a much better pace as they grow. However, unlike the challenges, growth is a choice to take.
A Dare to Change
Stepping up to face life’s most unimaginable challenges could make every person more responsive to changes. Weathering through every storm teaches a person to find solutions to certain problems that have come into his life. Because of these experiences, he becomes more capable of assisting others who may face life the way that he did.
To outline the way individuals could use such experiences for the best results, she pens down the understanding about human emotions and experiences that she has mastered for the past two decades. In this book, she highlights the critical role of empathy, connection, and the innate courage that persons develop through years of experience.
Empathy comes from the deep sources of experience. A person who has gone through the same experience is able to understand what a person going through the same path goes through. On the other hand, connection is established through knowledge, and courage comes from the deeper essence of understanding what it takes to face a certain challenge and end up successful.
Individuals who can develop all these key factors of behavior and perception end up becoming great leaders who are able to easily connect with others.
This book by Brown creates a huge sense of realization especially for individuals who may have lost all belief in themselves because of being subjected to distinct challenges in life. As tired as they may seem, Brown gives them the hope of getting the best out of the situation they may be in.
Looking into the stories of great leaders, she outlines the fact that once a person realizes the worth of his experiences and uses such worth to improve his own personal value, he becomes more capable of serving others as a leader- a person who is able to bring the best out of every person.
