Daring greatly : how the courage to be vulnerable transforms the way we live, love, parent, and lead / by Brown, Brené,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. In a world where "never enough" dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive, uncomfortable, even a little dangerous sometimes. Without question, putting ourselves out there invites a far greater risk of being criticized or feeling hurt. But Brené Brown explains that when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives, and that nothing is as dangerous, uncomfortable, or hurtful as standing on the outside looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen." --Page 4 of cover.

"From the first female real estate broker on Million Dollar Listing LA, a no-bullshit guide to analyzing big egos, deflecting power plays, and taking control of any room. Behind Tracy Tutor's entertaining on-screen persona is an uncanny knack for projecting confidence in the most intimidating of circumstances. The breezy, tough-talking, utterly inimitable LA real estate broker has rivaled her male co-stars to land increasingly high-profile deals. Now Tracy is leveraging her years of experience to write the go-to manual for women who struggle to convince people they're in charge. The first step in Tracy's system for confidence is to figure out what people want and how they operate. From there, simply push the right levers of influence. Through candid, hilarious stories of her rise through the male-dominated world of high-end real estate (text message screen shots from creeps included!), Tracy offers a crash course in the psychology of power dynamics and social signaling. You'll walk away knowing: - What five things you should always find out about someone before you're in a room with them - How to communicate confidence with any outfit, even if you're dressing on a budget - The different types of humor you can use to lighten up and empower yourself in any meeting This book is a must-read for any ambitious woman who wants to learn not only how to be in important rooms but how to run them"--

The anti-heroes : a novel / by Lancaster, Jen,1967-author.;
"Once upon a time, Dr. Emily Nichols -- the academic kind, not the physician kind -- was an eco-crusader who was shot with water cannons, hunted by poachers, and chased by a bulldozer. Now? Action Emily lives in a bland condo with gray walls and teaches disengaged students at a university alongside a risk-allergic boyfriend, asking herself every day: How did I get here? Then one afternoon Emily and her best friend, people-pleasing real estate agent Liv Bennett, witness an attempted robbery at their local coffee shop that is foiled by a yoga mom wielding a baby stroller. Their hero attributes her bravery to a mysterious class called Fearless, Inc. Its enigmatic and dizzyingly muscular instructor, Zeus, is now fully committed to helping Emily and Liv overcome their fears, too -- one thrilling self-help lesson at a time. Along with a ragtag group of other wimps, Emily and Liv must embrace the passionately unconventional methods of the leader to harness their powers, gain a bracing new perspective on life, act on their impulses, and be the no-holds-barred anti-heroes of their dreams."--Dust jacket flap.
