Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The 10th-anniversary edition of the game-changing number one New York Times best seller, featuring a new foreword.

For more than a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveller. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh and, on occasion, cry with you. And what's now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in 35 different languages across the globe.

What transforms this audiobook from written word to effective daily practices are the 10 guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way.

Brené writes, 'This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, "My story matters because I matter." Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance.'

Loved it

Found the length of the chapters perfect. Loved the "Let's get intentional" bits. The examples given helped me a lot to really understand the guidelines and I absolutely loved the narrator's voice (Brené's)

Easy listening. Great ideas for living a wholehearted life.

An easy listen with practical steps towards living a whole hearted life.
I love Brené’s honesty and authenticity.
I also love that these ideas have grown from years of extensive research.
Definitely worth making time for.

Great research and insight.

Loved, loved this book, thank you Brene. It helped me tremendously to understand how to move away from striving for perfection to self love.

So good

I feel like I need to write every sentence down and frame it. Brene Brown speaks to me like no other author. I love her work. I will be listening again and this time making notes.

Exact right amounts of humour and humanity, interesting stories told in a way that makes you feel like you’re catching up with an old friend. Would strongly recommend.

The pain of shame

I liked the breakdown of concepts ,things we don't even realise are holding us back. I think it reads really true in so many aspects of life ,how we live in shame,forget to play and how we get triggered
