Brené Brown’s game-changing New York Times bestseller, The Gifts of Imperfection, has sold more than 2 million copies in more than 30 different languages and is celebrating its 10th Anniversary in print. Forbes magazine named Gifts one of the "Five Books That Will Actually Change Your Outlook On Life." Through this self-help classic we
find courage to overcome paralyzing fear and self-consciousness,
strengthening our connection to the world and helping us to believe we
are worthy of self-discovery, personal growth, and boundless love.
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.
