тАЬTrying to be perfect may be inevitable for people who are smart and ambitious and interested in the world and its good opinion. . . . What is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.тАЭ
In Being Perfect, Anna Quindlen shares wisdom that, perhaps without knowing it, you have longed to hear: about тАЬthe perfection trap,тАЭ the price you pay when you become ensnared in it, and the key to setting yourself free. Quindlen believes that when your success looks good to the world but doesnтАЩt feel good in your heart, it isnтАЩt success at all.
She asks you to set aside your friendsтАЩ advice, what your family and co-workers demand, and what society expects, and look at the choices you make every day. When you ask yourself why you are making them, Quindlen encourages you to give this answer: For me. тАЬBecause they are what I want, or wish for. Because they reflect who and what I am. . . . That way lies dancing to the melodies spun out by your own heart.тАЭ
At the core of this beautiful book lies the secret of authentic success, the inspiration to embrace your own uniqueness and live the life that is undeniably your own, rich in fulfillment and meaning.
