Synopsis

Whitney Johnson, popular Harvard Business Review blogger, has a goal: to help us identify and achieve our dreams. Her belief is that we can each achieve greater happiness when focusing both on our dreams and on other people in our lives. In this inspiring book, Johnson directs her attention to teaching women, in particular, a three-step model for personal advancement and happiness. She first encourages us to DARE to boldly step out, to consider disrupting life as we know it. Then she teaches us how to DREAM, to give life to the many possibilities available, whether to start a business, run a marathon, or travel the world. She shows us how to "date" our dreams (no need to commit!) and how to make space for dreams. Finally, Whitney's model brings out the businesswoman in her; she teaches us to DO, to execute our dreams. She showcases the importance of sharing dreams with others to give them life, creating your own "dream team." Rich with real stories of women who have dared to dream, DARE, DREAM, DO offers a practical framework to realize one's true potential.

In her mid-twenties, Whitney found herself in New York, where she landed a secretarial job on Wall Street. With no relevant experience, and a bit shy on confidence, she contemplated her future and her dreams. Through determination and hard work, Whitney became an investment banker, moving to the analyst side of the business, executing the plans she'd laid out for herself. Naively, she thought most women were following similar paths until she started talking and found that many women were not daring to dream at all. It was because of these conversations that she started a blog in 2006, which became the inspiration for this book. DARE, DREAM, DO is full of remarkable stories of women, which will no doubt inspire others to follow suit. Although Whitney focuses on the stories of women, her blog is popular with men as well, and her advice speaks to either gender.

Goodreads review by Melissa

I waffled on my rating for this book. I liked the topic and really appreciated Johnson's enouragement that we, especially as women, look beyond the lives of those we love and reach for dreams of our own. I need to be better at that. I wanted to feel driven to change. I appreciated some of the storie......more

Goodreads review by Karen

I picked this book up as a tribute to Whitney, whom I knew when I lived in New York. I was interested in hearing what she had to say and frankly, curious to read the included stories of other New York friends. Very soon, however, I was appreciating the book and ideas for their own sake. I love the h......more

Goodreads review by Melissa

This book started out well and then annoyed me for 2/3 of the rest. If you're religious and a mother, this book might be really good for you. But not everyone is. I could barely relate to story after story of just wanting to be a wife and mother. Yawn. I'm really surprised at the lack of inspiration......more

Goodreads review by Anna

До розуміння своєї мрії я так і не приблизилась. Ця книга-це збірка історій успішного здійснення мрій жінок. Блог пости зібрані в книгу. Книга не дає тих інсайтів, яких ти виправдано від неї чекаєш. Це не гайд як мріяти і досягати мрій. Це книга-виправдання мріям. Як вони змінили чужі життя. Чесно к......more
