The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are (1)

When our embarrassments and fears lie we often listen to them anyway. They thwart our gratitude acceptance and compassion—our goodness. They insist “I am not worthy.” But we are worthy—of self-discovery personal growth and boundless love. With Brené Brown’s game-changing New York Times bestseller The Gifts of Imperfection—which has sold more than 2 million copies in more than 30 different languages and Forbes recently named one of the "Five Books That Will Actually Change Your Outlook On Life"—we find courage to overcome paralyzing fear and self-consciousness strengthening our connection to the world.A motivational and inspiring guide to wholehearted living rather than just the average self-help book with this groundbreaking work Brené Brown Ph.D. bolsters the self-esteem and personal development process through her characteristic heartfelt honest storytelling. With original research and plenty of encouragement she explores the psychology of releasing our definitions of an “imperfect” life and embracing living authentically. Brown’s “ten guideposts”  are benchmarks for authenticity that can help anyone establish a practice for a life of honest beauty—a perfectly imperfect life. Now more than ever we all need to cultivate feelings of self-worth as well as acceptance and love for ourselves. In a world where insults criticisms and fears are spread too generously alongside messages of unrealistic beauty attainment and expectation we look for ways to “dig deep” and find truth and gratitude in our lives. A new way forward means we can’t hold on too tightly to our own self-defeating thoughts or the displaced pain in our world. Instead we can embrace the imperfection.
