How can I stop doubting myself and comparing myself to others? How to stop feeling obligated? How to accept your shortcomings and generally treat yourself kinder? We ask ourselves these questions many times in our lives. “Shame for one’s own imperfection is a real epidemic of Western culture,” says the author of the book, American psychologist Brené Brown. She researched this topic for about ten years and came to the conclusion that such phenomena typical of the modern Western world as perfectionism, individualism and overwork prevent us from living in harmony with ourselves.
