In hardcover for the first time this tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New
York Times bestseller features a new foreword discussion guides and a creative journal. 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 2
million copies in 35 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.
