Perfectionism can hold us back and crush our confidence levels. Unfortunately, many women struggle with perfectionism. Author, Reshma Saujani says there is a reason for this. “As girls, we were taught to play it safe. Well-meaning parents and teachers praised us for being quiet and polite, urged us to be careful so we didn’t get hurt, and steered us to activities at which we could shine. As a result, we grew up to be women who are afraid to fail.” In Brave Not Perfect, Reshma Saujani teaches us to embrace our imperfections. She guides us on how to choose bravery over perfection, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling, authentic and confident life. This one is a must-read.
