Publisher's 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.'

Another touched imperfect life!

I finally have answers for WWWH for all the voices in my head that brought so much pain that not only stopping me to grow but most importantly blocking me to live a free, wholehearted meaningful life that can come from my own worthiness of love and belonging. A must read !

Life changing

Loved everything about it. From cover to back! I could listen to Brene’s voice and her inspirations forever

This book puts things in perspective!

Listening to this book was so easy, with the author’s pleasant voice I managed to keep my attention all the way through!

Her research on shame in correlation to perfectionism really was an uh-huh moment for me. Will definitely listen again and again!

Embracing Yourself

I loved it. Typical of Brene's books, it's a deep dive into what makes us best function as humans - rest, play, mindfulness, wholehearted living, utilizing one's talents as an appreciation to our Maker. A great book. 👍 I listened to it twice already.

Excellent

Informative, entertaining and packed with the author's own authenticity.
Thank you Ms Brown for sharing your work with us.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU WOW AAAGGGG GGGRRRRR PLAY GAMES

A sense of being understood and empathised with

I have always loved Berne’s work. It has allowed me to understand and change so much of myself. I started of reading Rising Strong. This book is the fundamentals what wholehearted living is.

It’s engaging, heartfelt and fun to listen to with Brene narrating it herself. I can not wait for the next book.

Life changing

I just love Brené’s books; it clarifies my own issues with myself, give me the sense that I am not alone and that I am doing great. It is relatable, logical and on point.
Bonus: Brené reads most of her own books and that makes it all better. This one is read by Brené Brown.

My First and Definitely Not My Last

I've been a fan of Brené Brown and her work for a while but have been mainly following video talks and podcasts. I don't know why it took me so long to read her work - maybe because I was afraid it would be too textbook-y and hard to follow or too abstract on the page. Thank God for Audible. Finally, after so long, I "picked up" a book and was so happy I did. I was able to go deeper and get my "fill" of the concepts and ideas she studies and explores since she can really go into it, take her time, and give many examples and illustrations (it's her book and her time, afterall). Also having Brené narate it gave me that same anecdotal, casual and disarming experience I enjoy so much when watching or listening to her. Thanks Audible and Brené! On to the next!

An all time MUST READ

Whenever I lose track of what’s important I turn to this book and it has never failed me to set my course straight🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼
