    Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate. So most of us perform, please, and perfect, all the while thinking, What if I can't keep all of these balls in the air? Why isn't everyone else working harder and living up to my expectations? What will people think if I fail or give up? When can I stop proving myself?

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Gifts of Imperfection to be better than the print version?

    I still haven't read the print version.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Me!


    What three words best describe Lauren Fortgang’s performance?

    Annoying, whistling, sibilant.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No.


    Any additional comments?

    The author's ideas are really insightful and could be life changing if you are up to it. But you must be a little patient with the narrator. To be fair, maybe it's not the narrator, but the sound mixing that made it way too annoyingly sibilant.

    Lyn Kelley, Ph.D. is a licensed therapist and certified relationship coach who draws from her own experience and that of her clients to give you all the information you'll ever need to know about self-centered and narcissistic men. You'll learn how "bad" he is on a scale from 1 to 10. You'll know all the early warning signs, why you're attracted to him, how to respond to selfish behavior, the 11 questions you MUST ask up front, the 3 C's to watch out for, and the 3 R's cure. If there is any hope for your self-centered man, this book will give you the ONLY strategies that work to turn him into a generous, caring, giving man.

    What disappointed you about Self Centered and Narcissistic Men?

    It looked like to be more a resentful 'ex' talking angrilly about her old boyfriends than a serious couch giving soothing advice.


    Has Self Centered and Narcissistic Men turned you off from other books in this genre?

    No.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Lyn Kelley’s performances?

    No


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    All of them
