Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision that encourages us to dare greatly: to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives. In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Based on 12 years of research, her book argues that vulnerability is not weakness but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection.

DARE TO FIND ANOTHER NARRATOR
Revisado: 09-03-13
Would you listen to Daring Greatly again? Why?
READ rather than listen to the book. The writing is wonderful. The content is valuable and moving. But the choice of narrator was entirely wrong.
Although Karen White (the narrator) is an experienced reader with a lovely voice, she read Brene Brown's book as though she were reciting a humorous, light fiction piece. Ironically, in a book about vulnerability, White's vocal inflections and tone were often cynical and mocking.
Like other listeners, I was unable to finish the book.
In the future, I will pay more attention to the reviews regarding the narration.

Amy Cohen always imagined that by age 30 she would be juggling a thriving career, a devoted English husband, and two adorable children who had shag haircuts and a room in their loft where they could play the drums. But at 35, as she struggled to come to terms with the loss of her adored mother, she found herself "between jobs" (she'd been fired), "between boyfriends" (she'd been dumped), and "between apartments".

Moving and Funny

I looked forward to listening to this audiobook. At times, Cohen's writing would make me gasp or laugh out loud. Other times I was moved to tears. My only criticism is that the reader/author frequently used "upspeak" as part of her presentation; sentences that were written as statements were often phrased as a question: "There was a guy in the restaurant? He looked like my ex-boyfriend from the back?"
Unlike a previous reviewer, I did not find Cohen's voice screechy or shrill. In fact, it was like listening to a phone message from a long lost friend.
I hope that she will consider writing another book-
