Brené Brown

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown returns with an urgent call to reimagine the essentials of courageous leadership. In a time when uncertainty runs deep and bluster, hubris and even cruelty are increasingly framed as acceptable leadership, Brown delivers practical, actionable insights that illuminate the mindsets and skill sets essential to reclaiming focus and driving growth through connection, discipline and accountability. Over the past six years, Brené Brown, along with a global community of coaches and facilitators, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in 45 countries through her Dare to Lead courage-building work. In Strong Ground, Brown shares the lessons from these experiences along with wisdom from other thinkers. This is a vital playbook for everyone from senior leaders developing and executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers entering and navigating turbulent work environments. It is also an unflinching assessment of what happens when we continue to perpetuate the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness are mutually exclusive. With equal amounts of optimism and caution about AI, Brown writes, 'I hear a lot of experts trying to soothe people's anxiety about the pace of technological change by offering platitudes like, What makes us human will ensure our relevance. This is dangerous simply because, right now, we're not especially good at what makes us human. We're not hardwired for this level of uncertainty, and many of us feel as if the constant need to self-protect is driving the humanity right out of us. This is why organisational transformation today must foster deep connection, deep thinking and deep collaboration. We need the courage to lead people in a way that honours and protects the wisdom of the human spirit.' Brown offers a broad assessment of the skill sets and mindsets we need moving forward, including the capacity for respectful and difficult conversations, increased productive urgency and smart prioritisation rather than reactivity, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking and situational and anticipatory awareness skills. She identifies the toughest skill set as the discipline, humility and confidence to unlearn and relearn. Brown writes, 'Individuals and organisations are building new muscles. Finding our strong ground - that athletic stance - is the only thing that can provide both unwavering stability in a maelstrom of uncertainty and a platform for the fast, explosive change that the world is demanding.'

For over a decade, Brene Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveller. And what's now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe. What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way.

In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brene Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection." In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection. Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice. Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are."

In hardback for the first time, this tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and brand-new tools to make the work your own. For over a decade, Brene Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveller. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh and, on occasion, cry with you. And what's now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe. What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way. Brene writes, "This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, 'My story matters because I matter.' Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance."

In her #1 NYT bestsellers, Brene Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that's necessary to do good work.

Egyre több embert érint az elszigetelődés, a társas magány problémája, s egyre többen gondolják úgy, hogy nehéz valódi, mély kapcsolatokat kialakítani. Hiába vagyunk szociális lények, a konfliktusoktól és az elutasítástól való félelem bénítóan hat ránk, a szorongás, a bizonytalanság, a félelem pedig aláássa azt a törekvést, hogy nyissunk a másik és a világ felé. A tartalmas társas kapcsolatok kulcsa a bátorság. Bátorság kell ahhoz, hogy megismerjük és elfogadjuk magunkat. A megszerzett önismeret révén ugyanakkor kibontakoztathatjuk a bennünk rejlő pionír szellemet, s felfedezhetjük mindazt, ami rajtunk kívül van - legyen az akár egy másik ember, egy másik kultúra vagy egy másik közösség. A houstoni egyetem neves kutatóprofesszora, Brené Brown a tőle megszokott közvetlen stílusban meséli el azokat a személyes történeteket, amelyek segítenek megérteni, hogyan alakíthatunk ki valódi kötődéseket, és fedezhetünk fel ezáltal új világokat. Brené Brown a Texasi és a Houstoni Egyetemen diplomázott szociális munkás szakon. Több mint másfél évtizede kutatja a bátorság, a sebezhetőség, a szégyen és az együttérzés jelenségeit. Számtalan előadása és tanulmánya jelent meg a témában, A sebezhetőség hatalma című TED-előadását pedig több mint 30 milliószor töltötték le. Könyvei rendre felkerülnek a New York Times sikerlistájára.

A timely and important new book that challenges everything we think we know about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organizations, and culture, from the #1 bestselling author of Rising Strong, Daring Greatly, and The Gifts of Imperfection. `True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.' Social scientist Brene Brown, PhD, LMSW has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarisation. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping out a clear path to true belonging. Brown argues that what we're experiencing today is a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, `True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in both being a part of something, and in standing alone when necessary. But in a culture that's rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it's easy to stay quiet, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism. But true belonging is not something we negotiate or accomplish with others; it's a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It's a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts.' Brown offers us the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other. And that path cuts right through the wilderness. Brown writes, `The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.'

Fyzika zraniteľnosti je jednoduchá: Ak sme dosť odvážni, pádom sa nevyhneme. Kniha Vstať silnejší je o procese, počas ktorého sa snažíme po páde znova vstať a o spôsobe, akým nám uchopenie príbehov o našich zápasoch do vlastných rúk pomôže vytvárať ich nové odvážne konce. Zápasy, ktorými v živote prechádzame, môžu byť našou najväčšou výzvou k odvahe, a proces, počas ktorého sa snažíme po páde vstať silnejší, tou najjasnejšou cestou k úprimnému životu. Dr. Brené Brownová je výskumníčkou a profesorkou na Fakulte sociálnej práce Houstonskej univerzity. Posledných tridsať rokov sa venuje skúmaniu zraniteľnosti, odvahy, hanby a hodnoty človeka. Je autorkou bestsellerov # 1 New York Times Odvaha žiť naplno a Dary nedokonalosti. Je tiež zakladateľkou a generálnou riaditeľkou spoločnosti The Daring WayTM – organizácie, ktorá pomáha uplatňovať výsledky jej práce v rôznych organizáciách, školách, komunitách i rodinách. Jej prednáška v rámci TEDu z Houstonu z roku 2010 – Sila zraniteľnosti – je jednou z piatich celosvetovo najprehliadanejších prednášok TEDu – videlo ju už viac ako devätnásť miliónov ľudí.

Nem számít, hogy egy fájdalmas szakítás miatt, vagy valami apróság ürügyén, például egy kolléga fölényeskedő megjegyzése, vagy házastársunk szüleivel való vita okán szenvedünk-e sérelmet. Ha megtanuljuk, hogyan jussunk túl ezeken, és birtokba vesszük küzdelmeink történetét, a befejezés a bátorságról szól majd. Ha a történetünk tényleg a sajátunk, elkerüljük azt, hogy olyan szereplőkké váljunk, akik valaki más történetének a csapdájában vergődnek. Brené Brown a Houstoni Egyetem kutatóprofesszora. Az elmúlt tizenhárom évet a sebezhetőség, a bátorság, az erény és a szégyen tanulmányozásával töltötte. 2010-es houstoni TED-előadása, A sebezhetőség hatalma a világ öt leggyakrabban letöltött TED-előadása között szerepel - eddig közel 20 millióan látták. A bukás fájdalmas. Szembenézni vele bátorságot feltételez, és azt, hogy újra talpra állunk. A sebezhetőség működése egyszerű: ha elég gyakran vagyunk bátrak, akkor a bukás elkerülhetetlen. Miközben a Bátraké az erő című kötet azt taglalja, mennyi erőfeszítésbe kerül a kudarc után felállni, arra is megtanít minket, hogy ha elfogadjuk a küzdelmeinket, akkor elég erőssé válunk ahhoz, hogy a befejezés már a bátorságról szóljon. A küzdelem a bátorság legnagyobb próbatétele, ám éppen küzdés közben válunk erősebbé. A szerző vallja: a bátorság ragadós - ezért is meríthetünk erőt saját talpra állásunkhoz a könyvben szerep­lő személyes történetekből.

Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. In a powerful new vision Dr. Brene Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - fromrevealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees.This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.
