The Gifts of Imperfection: 10th Anniversary Edition: Features a new foreword and brand-new tools

Loved this one as much as all the other books written by her. As usual, she's witty, honest, and holds herself accountable in delivering the brutal truth we need to be our true selves.

This book is not too thick, but very loaded with important information. I also liked Brown's TED talk, which helps to outline the first few chapters in the book and how they apply to vulnerability.

Small book

他人が期待する自分ではなく、ありのままの自分でいていいんだということを教えてくれる、ほっとする本です。英語もやさしめです。

質がいい上に、二日間の後すぐ届いたので、よかったと思います。

Brene Covers so many things in this book that it deserves at least a few reads to digest everything. After a research on how "Whole-hearted" people live, she found out that these people had a certain perspective on life and embraced a few practices regularly that made a huge change in how open they were to life. After finishing this book, I picked up quite a few distinctions worth applying. When you feel shame, the reflex that is conditioned in our society, heck even more conditioned in INDIAN society is to be embarrassed. Shame can come from so many angles, but so many of us are strangled by our introverted world views that we do not give enough credit to ourselves as being people who DESERVE to feel. When you feel shame, DON'T HIDE, instead, open up! There's chapters on cultivating authenticity, being more compassionate towards our own selves and giving ourselves the love and acceptance we deserve. To anyone who's looking to read a book, this book is rated #1 on Self Esteem, even though I believe Nathaniel Branden's works are better in that department, but this book EXCELS. It is definitely worth a read and a re read and it will bring a different courageous angle to the way you see life. It did to mine when I thought, what's wrong with singing in public. I tried, I sucked and I laughed about it haha At the end of every chapter, there's suggestions on how to apply the lesson called DIG deep, get inspired and get going. They offer valuable suggestions on how to use the info and other books and authors that cover the topics in details Definitely worth a read.

Ho acquistato questo libro dopo avere visto, per un centinaio di volte, il video TED di Brené Brown "The power of vulnerability". Non posso certamente dire che sono rimasto deluso dal testo, anche se, ahimé, debbo dire che l'autrice ripete SEMPRE-LE-STESSE-COSE, ovunque. Online, su riviste, e sui libri che scrive (sempre la stessa solfa). Sicuramente può aiutare chi si trova in un periodo di transizione. A mio avviso, per dirla con le parole di Umberto Galimberti, è un libro che avvicina all'intelligenza emotiva, e allontana dal pericolosissimo "analfabetismo emotivo"; insomma, si capisce come (secondo la sua teoria, che peraltro condivido per la maggior parte) funzionano i meccanismi di vergogna, colpa, paura della disconnessione. E' sbagliato immaginare il video come una terapia; tutt'al più è sicuramente un buon punto di partenza per chi ha qualche problema della sfera sociale. Ho letto il libro in lingua originale, ossia in inglese, poiché la versione italiana è pietosa. In ogni caso si capisce tutto perfettamente, è scritto in stile "americano", ossia a prova di beota.

Brené Brown est une perle, je l'adore. C'est un livre qui fait du bien à lire. Surtout quand on a une oh légère tendance au perfectionnisme comme elle. Enfin c'est le genre de livre qui donne une leçon de vie et je suis ravie qu'elle veuille bien partager ses réflexions avec ses lecteurs. Au travers de ce livre, Brené Brown offre une nouvelle perspective pour mieux s'accepter, pour être plus indulgent avec soi-même. Excellent en parallèle d'un travail personnel pour retrouver l'équilibre émotionnel.

Great Book
