Brené Brown, a successful power woman, experiences a breakdown that she calls her "spiritual awakening". She goes in search of clues about perfectionism: what drives us to always want to be better and more effective? Why are we so ashamed when we never fulfil the demands placed on us despite our best efforts? Brown's surprising realisation: perfection is alienating! It is our imperfection that connects us to ourselves and others and makes life perfect. Ten signposts help us to let go; touching stories encourage us to say goodbye to Mr or Mrs Perfect and to embrace ourselves more often. This book should remind us every morning: "No matter what I manage to do today and what remains undone: I'm not perfect, but I'm good enough.".
