The Gifts of Imperfection
Brené Brown
Hazleden; $14.95

I purchased this book a while back because I’ve loved Brené Brown since I saw her talk on TED and watched her keynote speech at Omega a couple of years ago. I knew I would have a long trip back from Portland and took this to read on the plane. I loved the book. As someone who wrestles with perfectionism, this book cut to the core for me. The book is subtitled “Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are.” Her recommendation is to take up wholehearted living and she shares 10 prescriptions for that. For us creatives, one is to create! It’s a quick read, though it will be something I will go back to again to study in more depth and consider her questions. Can’t recommend this book enough. I’ve ordered extra copies for family and close friends.

Look for the book at your favorite book retailer. Here’s a link to Amazon if you would like to learn more about the book.
