The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are was the first Brené Brown book I had ever read.
Her message of wholehearted living resonated with my then-perfectionist self. Wholehearted living can be summarized in having the courage to be imperfect and vulnerable, feeling compassion because we know that we are all doing our best and believing in greater connection because we have let go of the idea of who we are supposed to be and embraced who we are.
In this book, she shares ten guideposts so you can start living from a place of worthiness and authenticity instead of self-hate and fear.
