Brave, Not Perfect

Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder

Reshma Saujani examines how girls are often encouraged to seek approval, avoid mistakes, and excel only at activities that feel safe. Drawing on her experiences and conversations with other women, she connects this training to adult perfectionism and reluctance to take risks. The book proposes practical ways to tolerate failure, speak more openly, and pursue uncertain opportunities in work, relationships, and everyday life.
