Summary of The Gifts of Imperfection - Instaread Summaries
Book Overview
The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown describes what it is like to live a wholehearted life. When people live and love with their whole hearts, living wholeheartedly happens. Courage, compassion, and connection are needed in order for people to live wholehearted lives. They need courage to be vulnerable. They need compassion for themselves and for others. They need to make connections with others in order to both give and receive with an open heart.

Belonging allows people to be accepted as they are. To live a wholehearted life, it is a priority to develop self-love and self-acceptance.

People need to be brave enough to share their stories and live open lives to deal with their shame.

The third guidepost is cultivating a resilient spirit. Resilient people have five characteristics in common. They use their
