Erika is passion, grit and determination incarnate. Those who think these qualities are innate will be surprised when they’ll read this inspiring book.
— Guy Laliberté | Founder of Cirque du Soleil and of Groupe Lune Rouge, recognized by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Through Almost Perfect, Erika Lemay shares how she became world-famous by creating a career out of her passion— the acrobatic world of Physical Poetry.

The gritty detail of a life in the spotlight is exposed — rebuilding herself after a fall that left one of her limbs compromised and challenged all she had aspired to be, avoiding child abusers in the show business world, and keeping her cool when the unpredictable happens 30 metres in the air. More than this, Erika explains the methodology behind her success stories. With precise parameters, tips, and tricks, Almost Perfect is the guide she shares to a pain-free life, which explains how she maintains her physical conditions to Olympic-athlete level, and demonstrates how everyone can achieve the extraordinary — not by magical thinking but by designing a precise set of habits that can open doors to what most think is only accessible to the few. 

Almost Perfect is ideal for anyone that aspires to exceptional health, an extraordinary life, a head-turning physique, and an enviable career. Erika's carefully crafted methodology for excelling at specific goals is laid bare for the world to see. Nothing comes for free: a detail-oriented and elite mindset is the key to the most incredible life-changing path. Throughout Almost Perfect, readers learn to be the incarnation of coherence through iron discipline and unshakeable self-worth.


Almost Perfect is a unique story that we can all learn from. It is a collection of advice applicable to your professional and personal life.
— Daniel Lamarre | CEO and President Cirque Du Soleil.

Do you want to be paid to travel the world while pursuing your passion? Speak multiple languages and invent a new art form? Perform in front of Madonna, Bill Clinton, and Desmond Tutu? 

Erika Lemay did it all and more.

She spent a lifetime perfecting herself. From the age of thirteen, she strived to become the best in the world, fine-tuning her body and personality to be the only one the audience would remember. Talent is a myth, and the queen of discipline and willpower will show everyone why. Today, Erika Lemay is world-famous for what she accomplished on stage, but what justifies her success is the system behind the results, and that's what she shares in Almost Perfect.

You are not held back by the social or genetic luggage you inherited but by the limits you impose on yourself. Be unapologetic, think bigger and higher, and don't let others define you. Like in life, you are alone on stage and unless you take full responsibility for your actions, you won't make it to the summit.


Almost Perfect brings us behind the scenes, where everyone falls and gets back on their feet. Erika Lemay is such an ethereal creature and strong personality. She made her dream come true with passion, talent, and determination. A great lesson for all of us in these hard times.
— Cristina Lucchini | Co-Editor VANITY FAIR ITALIA
Erika Lemay is the poster child for extreme discipline and dedication to her craft. Her constant quest for perfection makes her admirable and endearing. Now with her new book Almost Perfect she inspires us to reach for the highest goals and dreams.
— Douglas and Francoise Kirkland, Photographer
Erika Lemay shares the secrets of excellence and success in her
inspiring story. While this path is a very personal and solitary one,
any person striving to make a difference in the world has confronted
the very same questions, doubts, mistakes, and feelings of
self-overestimation and underestimation. Almost Perfect portrays
the very essence of the artist and, in general, of the overachiever
who discovers the inevitable truth: perfecting oneself is not a ‘coveted
destination, but an eternal direction.
— Maestro Alvise Casellati, Conductor
