The Power of Imperfection. How to Make Your Imperfect Life Authentic

The main obstacle on the path to true happiness, self-acceptance, and realizing one's purpose often becomes the pursuit of perfectionism. Instead of loving ourselves as we are, we fall in love with the ideal image of a perfect version of... ourselves — and stop appreciating the real traits and qualities that define our uniqueness. But can we live by our own rules without a clear understanding of who we are?

Kristina Mand-Lakiani, co-founder of the global transformational school Mindvalley, shares insightful stories from personal experience and offers numerous reflective exercises aimed at helping the reader understand what they need:

• To find their own truth, ignoring external and internal criticism
• To transform the ideal image of a perfect version of themselves into a real essence
• To agree that no one needs guidance

Only after you rediscover yourself, understand who you really are, acknowledge and accept the unique combination of your rough edges and scars, quirky individuality, or even flaws, will you have the opportunity to thrive in life by harnessing the power of your own imperfection.
