As imagens da perfeição estão por toda parte, na televisão, no cinema, nos anúncios, nas revistas, sem falar em nossas próprias fantasias e em nossas muito seletivas recordações. Mas, curiosamente, a perfeição parece estar ausente da realidade do dia-a-dia. Nossa aparência, as pessoas que amamos, o lugar onde moramos, o trabalho que temos, estes sempre deixam a desejar. Neste livro a autora explica em dez ensaios que não precisamos ser perfeitos para alcançar o sucesso e a felicidade. Verónique reflete sobre a arte de errar, de ser desorganizado, de fazer bobagem e de não ser nem rico nem famoso.
