We live in a world constantly listening to the lies our fears and shame tell. They counteract gratitude, acceptance, and compassion—the good parts of us. They keep telling us, “I am not worthy,” even when you are worthy. You’re worthy of self-discovery, personal growth, and love. Brené Brown’s New York Times bestseller, The Gifts of Imperfection, has sold more than 2 million copies in more than 30 languages and was recently named by Forbes as one of the “Five Books That Will Actually Change Your Outlook On Life.” And it shares the mission of helping us find courage in overcoming paralyzing fear and self-consciousness, cultivating our connection to the world.
Brené Brown, Ph.D. is an inspiring guide to help us live a wholehearted life and she creates more than just the typical self-help book—she boosts our self-esteem and personal development through her honest and warm storytelling. With extensive research to back her stories, she shares the psychology of an “imperfect” life and embracing life with authenticity. Her ten guideposts show how we can cultivate authenticity in our lives—a perfectly imperfect life.
We are beginning to have a need to nurture our self-worth. This includes self-acceptance and self-love. In a world full of criticism and fear, we can dig deeper and find the truth and gratitude hidden in our lives. We can now pave a new path forward without holding onto self-defeating thoughts or pain. We can now begin to embrace imperfection.
Wait no more, take action and get this book now!

BOOK OVERVIEW
It’s human to be born with imperfections. Growing up, we begin seeing these imperfections as a threat to our happiness. So, this can cause to shield ourselves from adulthood’s challenges—emotionally and mentally. It may seem good but it would come at a cost. We become perfectionists, just like most people.
We begin believing that there’s a standard we need to observe—and failure thereof would cause society to look down on us. This is when shame consumes us. We’re forced to look at our imperfections, think we’ll never be good enough, and think that others will always be better.
In truth, we are all imperfect beings. And in our effort to be perfect, be become drained and stressed out.
