It sends a strong message that we don’t have to meet anybody’s expectations except our owns and that we can achieve anything we set our minds to.

Brene Brown has an uncanny ability to identify with you. She addresses issues we all have experienced at some point in our lives and most likely have been too ashamed to speak of.

I read it every day, to remind myself the dare greatly because: “It’s not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly;…who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”–Theodore Roosevelt

This book is so inspiring for anyone serving anything. It helps us in how to make loyal and permanent customers or fans of your products or services. As the title suggests, the book is about starting something new by first answering Why ie. Why that thing should be done. The author makes a convincing argument about how new endeavors become successful when people including team members, customers, and vendors understand the importance of an endeavor. The author has written that most people start by answering What and then go on to answer How. He however, encourages to start by stating the reason and purpose (Why). He affirms that starting with What can confuse the people and lead to unsuccessful results. He says that once people understand the purpose, they themselves figure out the How and What.
