Review of Embrace the Mess: How Imperfection Drives Innovation Kindle Edition
Embrace the Mess: How Imperfection Drives Innovation by Kim Groshek is a nonfiction book that invites readers to pause, reflect, and engage in the ‘mess’ of life. It’s a journey of self-reflection through journal prompts, well-written metaphors, and inspiring quotes, but it’s also unlike any other self-help book I’ve ever read. This book is sure to help readers find joy, strength, and purpose within the mess. I rate this 4 out of 5.
Something I really admired about the author’s writing was how optimistic and non-judgmental it was. Kim Groshek just views life differently; instead of seeing obstacles, Kim sees opportunities. Instead of seeing chaos, Kim sees the beautiful dance of life unfolding. If everyone viewed life this way, I believe society would be kinder, and life would be more enjoyable. I also really liked the author’s use of metaphors; it helped me create visuals and kept the context fun and relatable. There are multiple instances where she compares the mess of life to creative tasks such as baking a soufflé, writing, and more.
I only found one mistake while reading this book. There was clearly a lot of time and effort put into Embrace the Mess: How Imperfection Drives Innovation, and as a reader, I appreciate that. It was well written and well edited despite the small spelling mistake I found, but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the book. I deducted one star from my rating because the writing and editing weren’t perfect.
Overall, Embrace the Mess: How Imperfection Drives Innovation by Kim Groshek was well-written and fun to read. I feel inspired to welcome the unpredictability of life and enjoy the messiness. I’ll certainly be using this book as a toolkit and guide for the future, as well as a reminder that I’m capable of creating a beautiful life for myself, even if the path seems unclear.
