This tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and new tools to make the work your own.
For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveler. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh, and, on occasion, cry with you. And what’s now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe.
What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way.
Brené writes, “This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, ‘My story matters because I matter.’ Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance.”
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'In story after page-turning
story, Lives of the Stoics brings ancient philosophers to life.' -
David Epstein, bestselling author of Range 'Wonderful' - Chris
Bosh, two-time NBA Champion For millennia, Stoicism has been the
ancient philosophy that attracts those who seek greatness, from
athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And no wonder: its
embrace of self-mastery, virtue and indifference to that which we
cannot control has much to offer those grappling with today's
chaotic world. But who were the Stoics? In this book, Ryan Holiday
and Stephen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding
Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it - from
Cicero to Zeno, Cato to Seneca, Diogenes to Marcus Aurelius.
Through short biographies of all the famous, and lesser-known,
Stoics, this book will show what it means to live stoically, and
reveal the lessons to be learned from their struggles and
successes. The result is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in
search of living a good life.
