BOOK STUDY "Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead"

Hi everyone!

Please join us this Sunday for the start of an exciting new book study: "Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead" by Brene Brown. Led by Mary Lynn Poole, we will be meeting each Sunday at 9am in the parlor before the service. The books are provided by the church and there is no homework! We read and discuss the chapters together Light refreshments are provided.

From the book cover, "Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what if means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Dr. Brene Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.

Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief and disappointment and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity. She explains that when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives."
