The Gifts of Imperfection, 10th Anniversary Edition

Features a New Foreword

By: Brené Brown

Narrated by: Brené Brown

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 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 35 different languages across the globe.

What transforms this book from words 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."

Many, many 'Aha!' moments

If you haven't experienced any of Brené's work before, you are missing something from your life. If you aren't sure yet, start with her TED talks, Netflix special, and The Power of Vulnerability audio book. I have almost all the audibles and will be getting the hardcover books because she literally changed my life.

This was my birthday guft to myself

So excited to have gifts with Brene reading. I loved the last narrator but it’s just not Brene. The principles in this book changed my life and lead to my own spiritual awakening. Brene breaks down vulnerability and how to live an authentic life. Love love love!!! Thank you Dr. Brown!

Another One!

This book, like The Power Of Vulnerability, is absolutely amazing. I would especially recommend this book to young mothers and parents on a whole. It really hits home.

Well done Brene Brown!

can we give her a nobel prize already?

brené, your work saved my life. after reading this in print two months ago, i immediately looked for the audio version, and i had this pre-ordered for two months, written on my calendar, but for some reason i kept checking the date and looking for it to see if the date was changed or moved to earlier... and now it’s finally here...

the audio is so much more than i could’ve ever hoped for. i think i cry at least once every 4 page turns. it feels so good to know i’m not alone, and i actually have a reason to live now. thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you do. <3

keeps it real, honest, relatable

This is one that I will listen to again- the nuggets of honesty are dope. Thank you Brene for being real and creating something that is current and relatable. thanks for sharing insight. Guess I did permission to play as an adult.

You always break it down and make it understandable

I thought I was going crazy until I started reading your books and listen to them on Audible and found out I’m not alone everyone thinks like that once in a while! you have broken things down so clearly and understandable! Thank you thank you I think that you are so amazing and have broken this down and then shared it with all of us the world needs more Brené Brown’s

Got my attention

I have now listened to this audiobook four times. One after another. There is so much treasure to be found that one listen is not enough. I know I will be listening again soon. Thank you Brené

Brene’ helps us become brave

I am so grateful to Brene’ for helping us become brave. For showing us it’s ok to be yourself and be vulnerable, it’s the only way to the real you.

I truly cherish your work Brene’!
