About this listen

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.'

Wisdom

Loved this book when it first came out, love it even more with this 10th anniversary edition read by Brene Brown herself. Thought-provoking, grounded in research and wrapped in personal reflections, it's useful and practical - without being simplistic.

The pain of shame

I liked the breakdown of concepts ,things we don't even realise are holding us back. I think it reads really true in so many aspects of life ,how we live in shame,forget to play and how we get triggered

A great listen, worth your time!

We try to be perfect by wanting to impress others, we are bought up like this that we are always competing to be better, what is more important is being yourself, living your life to your means, accepting your imperfections and shining in the world!

Loved it

Found the length of the chapters perfect. Loved the "Let's get intentional" bits. The examples given helped me a lot to really understand the guidelines and I absolutely loved the narrator's voice (Brené's)

Easy listening. Great ideas for living a wholehearted life.

An easy listen with practical steps towards living a whole hearted life.
I love Brené’s honesty and authenticity.
I also love that these ideas have grown from years of extensive research.
Definitely worth making time for.
