The Gifts of Imperfection
by Brené Brown
challenging
hopeful
informative
inspiring
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
The first several chapters focused on rest, leaning into the mess, releasing perfectionism really resonated with me and provided opportunities to reflect. Though the book was more centered around shame research than I anticipated it to be, I think it worked well with the tiling of “imperfection.”
Towards the end of the book, there were more references to parenting that were less relatable to me personally but overall I really enjoyed reading this, and I have bookmarks throughout the audiobook to go back to. I liked the amount of resources that Brown provided for further reading as I am on a bit of a self-help journey.
If you haven’t read Brené Brown’s work before, you may consider this work because it’s a fast read, has lots of nuggets of information, and is a good introduction to the focus of her research through the years “shame.”
