I Am Perfectly Flawsome

How Embracing Imperfection Makes Us Better

By: Tom Collins, Michele Molitor

Narrated by: Michele Molitor

Don't be a "Should-Head"!

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 listening, you’ll want to make “I Am Perfectly Flawsome” your personal mantra.
