Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living by Shauna Niequist
2.0
The premise of this book was good, but something was missing for me. I bought it when it was on sale and stopped and started it for nearly a year. I finally picked it back up last month and committed to reading this time or truly abandoning it. I managed to complete the book, but I don't think I'm the target audience for this book.
I appreciate the honesty that Shauna gave us. I understand how easy it is to allow our life to get out of control and need to reign it back in and focus on what's truly important to us. The book read as more of a memoir to me and provided little in the way of challenging me or asking me to consider my life.
I think someone who has created a frantic busy life might get something more out of this book. Perhaps if the reader sees themselves in Shauna's shoes they will more easily reflect on their life and be able to discern the changes they need to make to build the life they want.
