The Gifts of Imperfection

        The Gifts of Imperfectionby Brené Brown"No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough.  Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn't change the trust that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging." Brené Brown, a leading expert on shame, authenticity, and belonging presents her approach which she calls - Wholehearted living - a way of engaging with the world from a place of worthiness. I love this book because it provides an alternative approach to the perfectionist, hard driving, and rather unforgiving approach to living that I was brought up with and tends to be dominant in our society.  She describes  wholehearted living, what gets in the way, and how to cultivate simple habits that will help you to embrace the gifts of imperfection.  I will leave you with a quote by author and NYT columnist, Anna Quindlen, as to how this book can help you: "The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."  Enjoy the journey of finding the new imperfect you!
