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

My Review
I Am Perfectly Flawsome: How Embracing Imperfection Makes Us Better by Tom Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
We are currently in a time where perfectionism is seen as the norm as people often present their best selves to the world while keeping other aspects of themselves hidden. Learning to recognize that perfect is an often unattainable goal is very important.
I am perfectly flawsome not only discusses the chase of perfectionism but also highlights that we all have flaws and that those flaws make us who we are. The book is focused on owning those flaws, understanding that we are all amazing, flaws and all – flawsome.
This was a quick and accessible guide to begin the journey of letting go of the ideal of perfect and instead embracing flawsome.
Included are journal prompts as well as a link to bonus content which includes guided meditation, quizzes, and a bonus ebook on Imposter Syndrome.
This book is a good resource for all who need to adjust their frame of reference and begin to embrace their own imperfections. Very well done.
