The perfection deception

why trying to be perfect is sabotaging your relationships, making you sick, and holding your happiness hostage

Edición de la obra The perfection deception

Most people mistakenly confuse perfectionism with a healthy striving for excellence, but there is a big difference. One can lead to great achievement or great learning, by allowing us to take risks, make mistakes, and forge ahead anyway. The other is a psychological wound that invites constant comparison with others, and traps us with all-or-nothing thinking that can paralyze us in a cycle of indecision, fear, and self-loathing. In this eye-opening book, Dr. Jane Bluestein shows us the truth about perfectionism.
