Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and new tools to make the work your own.
For over 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 thirty-five different languages across the globe.
What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten 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.”

1By Erickson206Meant to purchase the audiobook for the convenience of listening while on long drives, purchased this on accident. Wish I could get refunded for the book. I have since purchased the “audiobook” and will be listening soon.Helpful
5By GabriellekayyAs somebody who struggled with being vulnerable and putting my feelings into words, this book was extremely helpful. 10/10Thought provoking & inspirational!
5By Von’s WorldI read this book with my book club, starting with taking the Wholehearted Inventory & meeting weekly to discuss 2 guideposts at a time. It’s remarkable how really evaluating each guidepost’s place in your life can help you to make meaningful change, sometimes without even realizing it. Since completing the book I’ve purchased for four other people. Definitely a game changer, definitely worthwhile.Peace of mind
