The tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller, featuring a new foreword.
For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveler. 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 thirty-five different languages across the globe.
What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten 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.”

Reviews
Easy read full of wisdom
"Valued learning the definitions of love and belonging. Love how Brene weaves in her personal stories, lessons while teaching her audience. Easy read full of wisdom!"
— Happy C. (4/5)
Not a mind-blowing read
"The book had some decent ideas in it but over all the tone of the book was very anxious. It reflects the mindset of the surveillance society we live in (where every little thing is criticized on social media, to the point where even mundane things like having fun with your kid is a moment to assess panic). It felt a little contrived, as if the author was constantly trying to get you to laugh and relate to her. It almost made me feel opposed to the core meaning/teachings of the book. Overall I think this is a good book for people that are really struggling with this topic but for me it wasn’t my style and having read a few “self help” books, it seems to follow the same formula as most and teaches the same core principles. If you are new to self help books, I would recommend it, but if you have read a few you can easily skip this one"
