The Gifts of Imperfection
by Brené Brown
Three key ideas
- A mistake or unfinished task does not remove your right to connection and respect.
- Healthy effort accepts feedback; perfectionism may hide the work to protect appearance.
- Authenticity is not compulsory disclosure or saying every thought aloud.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Worth isn't a performance
- 2.Careful work or hiding the work?
- 3.Honest, not an open book
- 4.You're not the only one
- 5.Protect play from the scoreboard
