For more than a decade, Brené Brown has held a special place in our hearts. She is both a social scientist and a friend who, in discussing with her, gives you the assurance that she will tell you the truth, make you laugh, and also cry with you. This has now become a movement that began with The Gifts of Imperfection, a book that has sold over two million copies in thirty-five different languages around the world.

What makes this book more than just words on a few pages but an effective guide with daily practices is that it includes ten signposts for a fulfilling life. These signposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and our family’s lives, but they also enable us to avoid the unrealistic and destructive expectations that often block our path.

As Brené writes, “This book invites you to join a real revolution. It’s a small, quiet movement that starts when each of us says: ‘My story matters because I matter.’ The word ‘revolution’ may sound excessive, but in our world, choosing authenticity and a sense of self-worth is the ultimate act of resistance.”

Taking responsibility for our lives is difficult – but not as difficult as constantly trying to avoid it. Embracing our vulnerability is risky – but not as risky as giving up on love, joy, and the feeling that we belong somewhere, those experiences that make us utterly vulnerable. Only when we find the courage to explore the darkness will we discover the boundless power of the light that we hold within ourselves.
