    About this audiobook

    Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living by Shauna Niequist - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan

    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.)

    A book dedicated to make you realize the things that are actually important in your life and make you happy.

    Human beings have been conditioned with the idea that success and achievement brings true happiness in life, but actually, it is connection and meaningful things that provide genuine bliss. In Present Over Perfect, best-selling author Shauna Niequist delivers a collection of essays that talk about how to live a connected and free life which will ultimately make us a happy individual.

    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)

    "What kills a soul? Exhaustion, secret keeping, image management. And what brings a soul back from the dead? Honesty, connection, grace." - Shauna Niequist

    Many of us feel consumed with work but we keep going at it because we think that success is what makes us happy. But by doing that, we actually miss out on sweet moments that would bring happiness into our life. Shauna Niequist's new book is about making an effort to differentiate what life is all about and to not miss out on it because we are distracted with other stuff.

    Present Over Perfect is a love letter to life that will make you appreciate what you currently have and work hard to keep it.

      Read this book. Let it invite you to the courage to slow down and soak in what lights your soul ablaze.
    • 3/5
      Good content, but the same thing was repeated three to four times in the different chapters. Word for word, not sure if that was suppose to be like that or a tech clitch.

      I AM MOST IMPRESSED WITH PART 1 AND PART 2, LIKE, WOW. MUCH LOVE!
