Life is too short to live anxious chronically, and sometimes all it takes is a small spark of inspiration to remind you of how much opportunity and joy there is.

Our first Sunday Spark is Brene Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection. As always, Queen Brene (PhD, LMSW) tackles existential topics like shame, worth, joy, and gratitude in such an approachable way. She has years' worth of research and literature review to back up her definitions, claims, and recommendations - and she is so. damn. practical.
