The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.” ~ Brené Brown

In The Gifts of Imperfection, Brené Brown, a leading expert on shame, authenticity, and belonging, shares ten guideposts on the power of Wholehearted living—a way of engaging with the world from a place of worthiness.

Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate.

So most of us perform, please, and perfect, all the while thinking, 


"What if I can't keep all of these balls in the air?
Why isn't everyone else working harder and living up to my expectations?
What will people think if I fail or give up?
When can I stop proving myself?"

In her ten guideposts, Brown engages our minds, hearts, and spirits as she explores how we can cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think,
"No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough," and to go to bed at night thinking, "Yes, I am sometimes afraid, but I am also brave. And, yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable, but that doesn't change the truth that I am worthy of love and belonging."

"This important book is about the lifelong journey from 'What will people think?' to 'I am enough.' Brown's unique ability to blend original research with honest storytelling makes reading The Gifts of Imperfection like having a long, uplifting conversation with a very wise friend who offers compassion, wisdom, and great advice."
—Harriet Lerner, New York Times best-selling author of The Dance of Anger and The Dance of Connection

"Brené Brown courageously tackles the dark emotions that get in the way of leading a fuller life; read this book and let some of that courage rub off on you."
—Daniel H. Pink, New York Times best-selling author of A Whole New Mind

"Courage, compassion, and connection: Through Brené's research, observations, and guidance, these three little words can open the door to amazing change in your life.'"

—Ali Edwards, author of Life Artist

Do the Work By Steven Pressfield

Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? 

Have you started a project but never finished? 

Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start?

The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by bestselling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it’s not about better ideas, it’s about actually doing the work. 

Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance – a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door.

“There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us. Step one is to recognize this. This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It saved my life, and it will save yours.”

Do The Work isn't so much a follow-up to The War of Art as it is an action guide that gets down and dirty in the trenches. 

Say you've got a book, a screenplay or a startup in your head but you're stuck or scared or just don't know how to begin, how to break through or how to finish. 

Do The Work takes you step-by-step from the project's inception to its ship date, hitting each predictable 'Resistance point' along the way and giving techniques and drills for overcoming each obstacle. 

There's even a section called 'Belly of the Beast' that goes into detail about dealing with the inevitable moment in any artistic or entrepreneurial venture when you hit the wall and just want to cry 'HELP!'

Reviews

After reading his book, The War of Art last year, I didn't hesitate to buy this one and could not stop until I finished it. As a lover of reading, I'm so glad that Mr. Pressfield does the work required to be a great writer--every day.

Steven Pressfield hits right where it hurts. Honest, valuable advice for those with artistic/entrepreneurial spirits. Get a kick and start working.

This book is just what I needed... I am fairly smart but have not succeeded to the level I should be capable of. The reason: negative self-talk that stymies my every move. This book puts a face on it, gives great insight into what's going on and solid advice for getting past it. Combined with some out-loud in-my-face affirmations I have started to get some things done I have resisted for years.

It is an easy read and makes a good 'bible' for dealing with those times when you find yourself stuck.

Unconventional presentation of the most conventional advice you'll ever get. This is a book for all time. Read it and you'll see.
