About this audiobook
The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed To Be and Embrace Who You Are by Brené Brown- Book Summary - Readtrepreneur
With the advent of social media, we are bombarded by the messages they give out every day. What people tell us to be and what we see around us become our ideals and who we think we're supposed to be. Many of us strive to show the best image of ourselves to others to receive acceptance and fit in. However, all these creates a temporary sense of belonging that only leaves us feeling more empty and unworthy at the end of the day.
"You can't get to courage without walking through vulnerability." — Brené Brown
In this book, Brené Brown teaches us how to lead a wholehearted life and to be happy, and one does not need to be perfect. It all lies in our state of mind and how we view ourselves. We will learn how to overcome the common feelings many of us face when we feel inadequate, and rise better and stronger after that.

P.S. This is an important book that will change your life for the better with ten guideposts as you realize how insignificant other people's view of you are, and learn to believe in your own worthiness.
