1 of 1 copy available
You have Big Dreams for living a Big Life, but you have one Big Problem—you don't trust yourself. Learn how to let go of that self-doubt and change your life.
You are smart, brilliant, and beyond talented, but if you're a woman, particularly a Black woman or woman of color, you're likely prone to doubting yourself. What's more, society often reinforces the idea that you—that we—don't deserve the success we do achieve. But that couldn't be further from the truth.
You just need to believe in yourself and trust your own greatness.
Award-winning journalist, motivational speaker, and blogger L'Oreal Thompson Payton is a self-professed success junkie and poster girl for "overly" ambitious high achievers everywhere. She also knows firsthand how imposter syndrome and self-doubt can derail your dreams. She's experienced the growing pains that come with big career and life changes. But she's also come out the other side ready to kick ass, take names, and bring everyone she possibly can along with her.
In Stop Waiting for Perfect, she's doing just that: using that hard-won insight to be your guide, your big sister, your best friend, and personal cheerleader to help you through your own journey. She's penned the pocket-sized pep talk to walk with you through any obstacle in your career or personal life.
This book will force you to stop playing small and encourage you to fully step into your power and walk in your purpose. It will awaken the dreams you buried deep within your soul long ago because you thought they were impossible, unattainable—available to other people, but not you. Until now.
Learning to trust your dopeness isn't a one-time achievement to unlock; it's a lifelong journey. No matter where you are in your life, it's time to stop doubting and start living your best life.

Journalist and motivational speaker Payton, a self-proclaimed perfectionist, aims this title at the grown-up versions of the kids who strove for perfect attendance at school and now maintain streaks on wellness apps. Payton offers solid advice and a much-needed reality check for when perfectionism crumbles. The author is a creative who relates how she's had to job-hop, encountering agony, stress, and imposter syndrome as she did so. She also shares how the pandemic affected her need for control in all facets of her life. The book is playful, conversational, and fun to read, with chapters that act as bite-sized pep talks that can be read and reread. Payton quotes many leaders in the business and the self-help fields, so readers will have a list of titles and authors to follow up with after finishing this book. While written primarily for a Black audience, it's easy for anyone to gain insights and feel fulfilled reading this book. VERDICT This is a lighthearted read with hard-hitting advice, and a great way to jump-start a life change.--Amanda Ray
