Well now this is one heckuva recommendation. Exactly what I was looking for. I think I will put "Daring Greatly" on my short list. But I already have a few reading assignments from May22 so unless she gives me a pass I have to carry out her wishes first.

Now, I'm not sure I know what to do with this, however. A highly recommended female author explores the Catch-22 of being vulnerable (good) but then tells us how to overcome being vulnerable (bad?). Or does she tell us how to balance what I originally was looking for help on -- how to be vulnerable but not being perceived of as a wimp? Help!
