Present Over Perfect Study Guide: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living

The actual book was gifted to me but I really enjoyed it so I wanted to delve deeper into the book. This book is great to really rack your brain on how youre going to apply the books techniques and systems into your own life.

I have recommended the book and study guide to so many people. I didn't really find the DVD added anything if you had already read the book or were in the process of reading the book. The questions in the study guide helped me to dig a little deeper. While I would say the DVD is not necessary if you are studying on your own it may be good for a group but the studyguide is a great tool either way.

This is wonderful study that shows us how we need to be present in the moment and not hung up on having everything we do be perfect. In order to enjoy our life we must learn when to say no and give ourselves time to enjoy our home, friends and family. In the age of "electronics and social media" we need to know when to disconnect and live in the present.

This book came to me in a time when I desperately needed it. The messages really resonated for me and I have about 3/4 of the book highlighted. The author shares experiences and the messages in a way that really resonates and helps sink in. I read this every time I need to recalibrate my work/life balance and would recommend it to anyone looking to do the same in their life.

Even though I’m not in the stage that Shauna was basing this study on, I am still getting something out of it. I would imagine it would be a huge help if a person needed to simplify and learn to say no and not run themselves ragged.

I first found out about this study by Shauna Niequist by watching it on You Tube. I next bought the book, and finally this study guide. I am VERY pleased with its layout, and the subject matter. I am a first born, perfectionist, and am always more focused on the end goal than the process. This study teaches me to slow down, reflect and enjoy the journey of life! Thank you Amazon!

Loved this book. It’s a book you read and walk away changing a few things about your day and your world that make it better, more peaceful and of course, more present over perfect! There was only one chapter that I didn’t connect with other than that, truly exception read and I’ve purchased multiple copies to give to fellow mothers and friends. Great gift!

I liked the first few chapters, but lost interest towards the middle. Can't bring myself to start reading again.

Great and through study

Ich war mir nicht im klaren, dass ich zu diesem Buch eine DVD dazu kaufen müsste, um dieses Buch vollumfänglich nutzen zu können. Ohne ist es wirklich ziemlich dürftig, inhaltlich äusserst knapp, mit sehr grosser Schrift und viel Leeraum auf den Seiten. Ich empfinde es als eine Art Mogelpackung, wie das Ganze aufgebaut ist, obwohl die Botschaft -mit DVD genutzt- ganz bestimmt ganz toll und hilfreich wäre.Klarere Informationen von Seiten von Amazon wären wirklich hilfreich gewesen...

I thought I was getting the actual book to read. It’s faith based which I’m not into but the activities are fun!

I was disappointed I thought it was a book to read not part of an exercise program to do with others:(
