The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown

 
 

I look to Brene Brown as a mentor in her work on vulnerability, shame and self acceptance. This book is a must-read for anyone who is a self-proclaimed perfectionist, loves to be in control, and takes only calculated risks. What it exposed for me was that I create perfection to avoid vulnerability and making a mistake, and through letting go of those fears it allowed me to create freedom.
