Publisher's summary

In this honest, down-to-earth examination of her own life, Dr. Shai shares her messes, her blessings, and the relatable experiences with self-esteem that can help women everywhere embrace all that life has to offer. From the good, the bad, and the ugly, nothing is truly imperfect.

A woman’s path to personal freedom is full of anxieties and missteps, but there’s something to be gained from every failure. Dr. Shai shows listeners how to reflect and heal from the past. Those flaws don’t have to be permanent—rather, they can pave the way to something better. Every trial and tribulation is an opportunity to learn about your inner power and harness it in your pursuit of what you want to do and who you want to be.

Better, Not Perfect provides an earnest look into the steps you take from self-care to self-acceptance, as well as how these tips to living an authentic life can ultimately culminate in loving your true self.

Five Stars for Dr. Shai—Highly Recommended!!!

Dr. Shai’s brilliance shines in bold and unexpected ways as she shares relatable experiences with self-esteem, how to reflect and heal from the past, and tips on living an authentic life. Part biographical and part self-help, she offers deeply personal real-world examples of overcoming adversity along a woman’s path to personal freedom. Highly recommended. Five stars. Definitely worth an Audible credit.

Wow

This was an excellent read. It offered authenticity of life and all its ups and downs. Choices, consequences and characteristic behavior of a woman maneuvering through life when she felt that was her only path. Her path to success did not have to be the story book version, but Gods journey for her.

This book will change your life.

I had tears in my eyes, laughed in my throat and warm in my heart throughout this book. What a journey shared in such an authentic and approachable way. Dr. Butler shares her life, her lessons and her vulnerability in this moving memoir that challenges you to take a deep look at your self. I loved this book and now want to purchase the paperback because so many chapters and passages really impacted me. I love that you also get to work through the book and reflect through exercises. My favorite read so far of 2023. Congratulations Shai!

Tears Upon Tears

Dr. Shai has found a way to walk her readers through their personal bereavement of all of things that we didn’t realize was something that needed to be grieved. She speaks directly to us all through her stories. There were tears of sadness, joy, and relief. Absolutely incredible.
