Brenee Brown beautifully articulates that owning our imperfections and embracing our authentic selves and creativity, including shame and perfectionistic tendencies, is the key to unlocking peace of mind and overall happiness.

I wouldn’t have picked this one up if my therapist hadn’t recommended it. Appreciate you, Misty, but this one wasn’t for me. To begin, it’s poorly written. The suggestions are vague and often cliches. There’s this overarching theme of “wholeheartedness” that is poorly framed and explained. I wasn’t sure how my personal experience fit in if I wasn’t religious, as the book seems to posit faith as necessary to a wholehearted life. The one takeaway I have (which I think is the part I was supposed to, again, thank you Misty) was to remind myself that being vulnerable is important, and it’s a notion that appears in the first chapter.
