Förlagets beskrivning
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end
of the day saying,
I will try again tomorrow.
Written initially as part of a longer poem and featured in a gallery show in 1985, the words soon moved into a shorter piece beginning with the words that are featured in the Oxford Dictionary of American Quotations.
Courage Doesn't Always Roar has traveled the globe for decades, inspiring people toward an enduring perseverance. It's on medical building walls and school room cork boards. It's been featured in ceremonies of all sorts and included in sports and network news broadcasts. Oprah has included it in her magazine and journalists include it in "top ten” lists across many disciplines and categories.
Courage articulates itself in diverse manifestations from authentically speaking up for personal understandings, standing up for boundary and justice, to the capacity to change, learn and begin anew. Again and again.
This book may quickly become a daily companion at the start of any day or letting go at the end of the day, Radmacher explores quotidian aspects of courage often overlooked by those investigating the nature of this essential quality. Featuring an introduction from courage specialist, Candace Doby, the book begins as an invitation to recognize all of the ways courage, and the associated risk, show up on ordinary days. Radmacher insists in this book that we overlook opportunities for growth and personal celebration by shrugging off courageous actions with "I just did what I felt I had to do.” Noticing and learning from the ways that courage shows up bidden and unbidden only increases the chances of being able to summon it at will.
Using a refreshingly simple formatting device 180 entries span categories that are both common and uncommon: Intentions, Change, Beginnings, Kindness, Graces, Resilience, Thresholds, Choices, Acceptance, Declining, Endings. In an appropriate conclusion, the alternative to the quiet whisper involved in trying again tomorrow, she addresses what it means to acknowledge that sometimes courage actually DOES roar. In an engaging style that will appeal to contemplative readers as well as business professionals, teachers, students and those who simply long to live a bolder, more courageous life, Radmacher makes these every day acts of courage seem not only recognizable, but possible and desirable
