Overview
Stop listening to the voices telling you what you "should" be, or how well you "should" be doing — always harping that you're not good enough. Whether they originate inside your head or got planted there by well-meaning parents or less well-meaning social media, those voices are liars. They're harmful to your mental and physical well-being, and can lead to anxiety, depression, or worse, suicide.
Instead, become a practicing Flawsomist!
In I Am Perfectly Flawsome you'll find real science and personal stories showing the perils of perfectionism. You'll explore ways to embrace imperfection rooted in Japanese philosophies and meet inspiring flawsome role models (both well-known figures and everyday people from the authors' own research).
After reading, you'll want to make "I Am Perfectly Flawsome" your personal mantra.
Overview taken from the official book press release.
Review
In a world of perfection finding out that your imperfections are perfect and they are something to be proud of in a fascinating way of building self confidence and esteem following ancient Japanese mantras. I am Perfectly Flawsome is a self help book that I can finally relate to as it runs with values that I've always lived by, you are what you are and be proud of it.
I'll be honest in my younger years I found it difficult due to bullies being small in height I was basically prime target but later in life I have grown to embrace who I am and I feel better for it. Following the programmes set out you can work towards a stronger you, break away from what society tells us is the "perfect" way and be happy on your own path.
The book details how some ancient thought processes can help you train your brain to a new and healthier way and this in turn will ensure you become more happier in yourself. I found with this book that the self help aspect was actually quite useful and found that the processes detailed within are simple enough for people to adapt them for their everyday lives. I don't really know what I expected going into this but I was pleasantly impressed with what lied within it seemed a relaxed read that was on a level and allowed you to take it all in at your own pace.
Verdict-Out of 5 ⭐
⭐⭐⭐⭐
GOOD
I give I am Perfectly Flawsome a good score of 4 ⭐, a good guide to following your own path with confidence and being happy with you. A guide with ancient advice that is relevant for modern times. Definitely recommend.
