This book is about embracing your shortcomings and recognizing how they connect you to all humanity. Our sense of being inferior, inadequate, and less significant all derives from assuming that we alone have an exclusive corner on the market of inadequacy. We don't. The stories in this book highlight how all of us are truly ignorant and incapable in the vast majority of the human arena. No matter how bright the person you admire might be, they are ignorant and incompetent in most human activities. The reality of risks, missteps, and embarrassments falls on all of us. In the chapters that follow, there are stories and explanations on how we can transform our lives.
