ginalucia 's review for:
Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder
by Reshma Saujani
The book in 3 sentences/summary:
As women, we’re conditioned to be perfect.
So for that reason, we have work to do.
Being brave instead of perfect is the solution and this book tells you exactly how.
My impressions:
This book will make you realise that your life so far has conditioned you to seek perfection. As a woman, the choices you make, the way you handle fear and failure is likely a result of your upbringing. Reshma exposes all of this and arms you with the tools and knowledge to set it right. The book is a deep-dive into your inner workings which will help you see how to face your fears, be brave and finally, start pushing towards your goals.
Should you read it? (who would benefit from this):
This book is for any woman who is struggling with fear, perfectionism, people-pleasing and more. It’s inclusive, empowering and impactful. If a man were to read it, they’d get some pretty useful insight too.
What I personally got from the book:
I’m definitely still a perfectionist in more ways than one, but I’m now armed with some very specific techniques to help me combat it. You’ll have to read the book to find out what those are
