Anna Quindlen offers deep truths from her life to motivate and inspire you to become your most authentic self.

"Trying 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."

In Being Perfect, Anna Quindlen shares wisdom that, perhaps without knowing it, you have longed to hear: about "the perfection trap," 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 doesn't feel good in your heart, it isn't success at all.

She asks you to set aside your friends' 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. "Because 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."

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.
