|a Introduction: confessions of a big, gigantic failure (who learned to love herself as she is) -- Part One: Lies that keep us from loving ourselves as we are (or, becoming an imperfection) -- Lie #1: Today I'll be perfect -- Lie #2: I have to keep up with the Kardashians and also my neighbor Tammy -- Lie #3: They forgot my name again, and I think I might actually be invisible -- Lies #4: I'm going to need to shrink, suck it all in, quiet down, and possibly disappear -- Lies #5: Pretending to be fine is the same thing as being fine -- Part two: lies that keep us from connection (or, how to quit performing and start belonging) -- Lie #6: If I am rejected, I will die -- Lie #7: my job is to keep people happy and make sure they like me -- Lie #8: neighbors are weird -- Lie #9: Asking for help is a terrible idea, because then everyone is going to know I need help -- Part three: Lies that keep us from dreaming big and living a full life (or, how to try things without fear of failure) -- Lie #10: I'm a junior varsity adult, and the best spot for me is usually the bench -- Lie #11: it's better not to try than mess up in front of everyone -- Lie #12: I can't do that because no one does that -- Lie #13: if I can't go big, I should just go home -- Lie #14: it's better to dream small because then I won't be disappointed -- Epilogue: your turn, in your way.

|a "Jess Johnston used to feel alone in her mess. In a random burst of courage, she started sharing about those insecurities and struggles out loud, and what she found shocked her. Again and again, people replied, "Me too! I thought I was the only one!" In Perfect is Boring (and It Tastes Like Kale), Jess reminds readers that no one's living a perfect life, and there's a powerful interpersonal connection that happens when we're real about it. Maybe some people are cut out for perfectionism. (Martha Stewart? Daniel Tiger's Mom?) For the rest of us, the secret to living a full and connected life is finding the courage to show up as our real selves and stop participating in our own loneliness. With honesty, heart, and humor, Johnston shares the lessons she's learning (and relearning) about cultivating an authentic life, including: "I count, I'm important, and I matter-even if people introduce themselves to me 500 times."; "I want to be the best mother that has ever mothered, but it turns out I'm a mother who has a literal meltdown because her vacuum got run over by the car."; "Showing up is more important than winning. Trying is more important than saving face""--
