Silvia’s Reviews > The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are > Status Update

Yesterday, I recognized a familiar story in the author's early college years of drop-in/drop-out before completing her degrees and a connecting thread to her research method of choice--grounded theory. Today, on a hunch I've gone back and re-examined her guidepost resources section for researchers and thrill seekers. I think that I may just have a found a reductive solution to a problem that I've been working on!

p. 125 "Betrayal is an important word with this guidepost. When we value being cool and in control over granting ourselves the freedom to unleash the passionate, goofy, heartfelt, and soulful expressions of who we are, we betray ourselves. When we consistently betray ourselves, we can expect to the same to the people we love."
