"What kills a soul? Exhaustion, secret keeping, image management. And what brings a soul back from the dead? Honesty, connection, grace. " - Shauna Niequist

Many of us feel consumed with work but we keep going at it because we think that success is what makes us happy. But by doing that, we actually miss out on sweet moments that would bring happiness into our life. Shauna Niequist's new book is about making an effort to differentiate what life is all about and to not miss out on it because we are distracted with other stuff.

Present Over Perfect is a love letter to life that will make you appreciate what you currently have and work hard to keep it.
