The Gifts of Imperfection
Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are
By Brene Brown
New York Times best-selling author and professor Brené Brown offers a powerful and inspiring book that explores how to cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection to embrace your imperfections and to recognize that you are enough.
Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate. So most of us perform, please, and perfect, all the while thinking, What if I can't keep all of these balls in the air? Why isn't everyone else working harder and living up to my expectations? What will people think if I fail or give up? When can I stop proving myself?In The Gifts of Imperfection, Bren?rown, PhD, a leading expert on shame, authenticity and belonging, shares what she's learned from a decade of research on the power of Wholehearted Living--a way of engaging with the world from a place of worthiness.In her ten guideposts, Brown engages our minds, hearts, and spirits as she explores how we can cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough, and to go to bed at night thinking, Yes, I am sometimes afraid, but I am also brave. And, yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable, but that doesn't change the truth that I am worthy of love and belonging.

.How do we maintain .self-worth and fight against ourselves/our negative voices...?
Reviewed in Canada on August 30, 2019
I have read many self help, inspirational, therapy books and this book is a guide to self love and feeling good enough. It has transformed how I think about my actions and interactions. I mean not always at the time, but afterwards. I find I am more conscious since reading it and more compassionate towards myself and others. I find I need to read a bit and let it resonate and see areas in my life where I can practice the ideas and philosophies in the book. Trust me those opportunities come up a lot. :) I think one thing that has stayed with me is the idea that one can be open, but we do not "share our stories with those who do not deserve to hear them." However, I also think that Brown suggests that even if we do share them and get negativity and blow back in return, we can still retain our self-worth and fight against ourselves/our negative voices.
