The Gifts of Imperfection

The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You AreThe Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are by Brené Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started this book ages ago and told everyone I knew about it. I even gifted the book a handful of times because I could not get Brene's voice out of my head. I love that she encourages more authentic and whole living in such a real and natural way. Part of me instinctively reaches for a a justification for why I didn't finish the book for over a year, but Brene would tell you that you shouldn't justify your behavior - rather you should own your own story and not be apologetic for being who you are. I know that I don't need permission to be who I am, but sometimes it's good to be reminded. Happy reading and happy living--

Ps. If you haven't watched Brene's TED talk on vulnerability, I would suggest fitting it in sometime this week. It's a game changer - no question about it.
