by Brené Brown
Hazelton Publishing, 2010, nonfiction. 137 p.
Brené Brown is a research social worker and a Ted Talk superstar. In this book she focuses on learning to be "wholehearted" by letting go of self criticism and accepting who you are. Her suggestions are based on a series of interviews she conducted as part of a clinical research about the causes and effects of shame. She explains her main terms in the beginning chapters, and then talks about ten "guideposts" or strategies for embracing authenticity like "Self Compassion" and "Cultivating Creativity". This is a very readable self-help book that is a good choice for someone looking for a life pick-me-up.
