Power of Imperfection

Many of us go through life feeling that we are failing to be the person we could be. But as this liberating book explores, there is power to be found in imperfection. ‘Ruth has an engaging and compelling style, revealing her own weaknesses to make us consider our own. She is brave enough to challenge the central tenets of human fallibility, the meaning of community and the way in which we can recognise our own imperfections and yet gain strength from them.’Clare Balding, BBC broadcasterRuth Scott works freelance as a writer, broadcaster, lecturer and mediator.
