The Gifts of Imperfection

by Brené Brown

Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

This was my introduction to Brené Brown and I recommend it as a read for any and all friends, colleagues, students, and clients as a starting point into the exploration that so many of us need to take to step through our expectations of perfection and into authenticity. I find everyone returns with a gratitude for the introduction to this book and a profound change in how they view their world and themselves.

Brené is terrific and setting up the structure and guideposts for the reader as we make our way exploring some scary parts of ourselves. She always has a story that can help integrate everything she’s articulating and I find finishing it I always feel lighter, more in tune with myself, more armed with tools to move forward and keep myself grateful and finding humor in all of those voices and experiences that I still have! Short, down-to-earth, and a fundamental book in our a toolkit library! I have it on audible as well and listen to it every time I need to remember where I’m going.
