From childhood, we're taught that being good means being calm, easygoing, and neat. Wise and kind people offer to help us become worthy, positive, productive, and always ready to say, "Yes, I can do this!" But more often than not, the constant striving to be better and conform to society's demands exhausts and destroys us. Rebecca Seal, a British journalist and writer, poses radical and uncomfortable questions about self-acceptance, our own imperfections, and rejecting the societal cult of success, productivity, and external perfection. The author challenges traditional notions of such "vices" as laziness, anxiety, and excessive emotionality, arguing that these qualities can be very beneficial. She doesn't urge us to suddenly become bad and awkward, but rather invites us to consider how to embrace every part of ourselves without conforming to the stereotypes created by society.
