Overview

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 Bren 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 Bren 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.

  • Perfect for Brene lovers

    Pickup C. - 4 years 9 months ago

    A wonderful guide, and perfect for Brene lovers. This is a different, more succinct, style than her other books. I’d recommend it for folks who are looking for more straightforward instruction. Don’t make it your first Brene book.

  • Self Compassion

    Brene Brown’s has such a wonderful style of writing that is relatable and sprinkled with humor. Great research based suggestions on how to implement better ways to reframe how we talk to and give ourselves compassion.

    Brigitte F. - 6 years 4 months ago

    A must-read for all humans ages 13 and up. This book was a critical part of my self-love journey, and it helped me realize my unhealthy behaviors such as not setting boundaries with loved ones. It's short and easy to read. Buy one for yourself and one for someone you love. :) #SummerReading
