Ever felt like you're constantly chasing an impossible standard of perfection? Like every stumble, every misstep, is a mark against you? "Embracing Imperfect Progress: Learning from Setbacks" challenges that narrative. It dives deep into the fascinating truth: failure isn't a dead end, it's a detour on the road to success. This book isn't about celebrating failure for its own sake. Instead, it's about understanding its inevitability, dissecting its anatomy, and harnessing its power. We'll journey through history, science, and culture, revealing how even the most catastrophic failures have paved the way for incredible innovation. Remember penicillin? A lab accident. Post-it Notes? A glue that didn't stick. We'll explore how embracing risk, learning from mistakes, and adapting to change aren't just buzzwords – they're essential tools for progress. From the hubris of empires to the resilience of communities after disasters, we'll uncover stories that illuminate the human spirit's ability to rise from the ashes. We'll question societal norms that stigmatize failure and champion those who've turned setbacks into springboards. And we'll gaze into the future, pondering how emerging technologies will shape our relationship with failure. It's a deep dive into the complex, often uncomfortable, yet ultimately empowering truth that progress isn't a straight line – it's a messy, imperfect, and beautiful journey.

On the heels of her acclaimed book In an Instant, the #1 New York Times bestseller she wrote with her husband, ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff, and with the same candor and charm, Lee Woodruff now chronicles her life as wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Woodruff’s deeply personal and, at times, uproariously funny stories highlight such universal topics as family, marriage, friends, and how life never seems to go as planned. From raising teenagers (“Now with a boy and girl on the precipice of serious adolescence, the bathroom door is sealed tighter than a government nuclear testing ground”) to how she copes with tragedy (“Swimming surrounds me in the velvet wet of a bluish green world where I can dive deep down and sob with no trace”), Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress is the testimonial of a woman who embraces the chaos of her surroundings, discovers the splendor of life’s flaws, and accepts that perfection is as impossible to achieve as a spotless kitchen floor.

Embark on an awkwardly awesome and imperfect journey with your guide, Jason Freeman, as he endeavors to uncover life's most elusive qualities: success and satisfaction. Eager to enter the world, Jason's umbilical cord became kinked like a garden hose. He lost a bit of oxygen, gifting him with a pronounced speech impediment and coordination awkwardness, a fitting introduction into the imperfect nature of life. Jason promptly ignored this wisdom, and tried for stressful decades to attain perfection. For many years, he assumed his quest was a solitary one, until eventually discovering that perfectionism has a way of plaguing most of us. Like many people, Jason had perfect dreams but on too many occasions found himself sitting on the sidelines of life. Out of misery and desperation, he discovered, and began to implement something that would become key to his success and satisfaction, a simple game-changing concept: 'Doing your Imperfect Best.' Today, Jason does what eight years ago he thought was impossible for him: yoga, owning his own business, speaking to audiences across the country and, now, authoring a book. In 'Awkwardly Awesome - Embracing My Imperfect Best', Jason takes you along on his journey of obstacles, frustrations and epiphanies leading to the powerful Imperfect Best Concept. Part memoir, part self-help guide, the narrative pauses on occasion, asking you, the reader, direct questions relevant to your own life as it introduces concepts intended to transform your journey.
