Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder by Reshma Saujani

 This is a message that has come out more and more since 2012; women have been taught to be perfect but we really need to be more brave. And that's hard because a lot of society doesn't want us to be. But there are ways to train ourselves (and upcoming generations) on how to makes sure that our sense of needing to be 100%before we try to be outweighed by our need to do the fun thing, the scary thing, the things that frighten us. 
For me, the most useful section was the one on ways to be braver. There are the ones that are obvious (at least to me) about taking care of yourself and examining which outcomes scare you more. Then there are the ones that scare me: asking for criticism and surrounding yourself with rejection. Ufda.
