Olympic Resilience Meets Flawsomism
I Am Perfectly Flawsome™ intertwines the journeys of Olympic gymnasts Aly Raisman and Simone Biles with its core message of embracing imperfections.
The book recounts Raisman's evolution from her struggles with perfectionism in 2012 to her role as "Grandma Aly" in 2016, highlighting her growth in self-acceptance and leadership. Simone Biles' ongoing story, including her courageous decision to prioritize mental health during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, provides a powerful example for the book's teachings on flawsomism.
The authors use Biles' experience with "the twisties" to illustrate the importance of mental health self-care and the strength found in vulnerability and imperfection.
Timely Message for Mental Health Awareness
As mental health awareness gains prominence, the Flawsomism movement offers a refreshing perspective. Encouraging all to reject toxic perfectionism and live in the paradox of striving for excellence while simultaneously embracing imperfection, "I Am Perfectly Flawsome™" provides practical strategies for improving mental well-being and personal growth.
Further Inspiration from Japanese Philosophies
Readers have also found benefit in the book’s exploration of the Japanese art and philosophy of Kintsugi — repairing broken pottery with gold, making the piece more beautiful and valuable than before. One reader wrote: "The references to the Japanese art and philosophy of Kintsugi were particularly effective and on point in defining and advocating "Flawsome™" as both a journey and a state of being that is good right now."
