Publisher's summary

Nothing you can do is good enough. Nothing you ever do is going to be sufficient. You are chasing the impossible dream and your health is suffering. Sound familiar?

At first, you feel like you have high standards and this is a good thing. You work hard to achieve significant accomplishments.

But the accomplishments become less and less as the need to do better takes over.

Before you know it, everything you strive for is out of reach because the standards you are setting are too high. Yet, you can’t see it this way.

What perfectionism looks like to you is a failure. Failure to achieve your goals and dreams, failure to please and impress others, and failure to be happy. Rather than readjusting the expectations, you criticize yourself and tell yourself to do more.

The result isn’t success. Instead, it’s burnout. In the worst-case scenarios, your perfectionism rubs off on those you love by setting impossibly high standards for them too.

Negativity fills your mind, and stress and anxiety start to take over your life. Maybe you have already started to feel the physical impacts of this stress.

For those who feel that anything less than perfect is not acceptable, someone telling you to embrace imperfection is going to wind you up. However, a 12-step guide with attainable action steps is practical.

In this book designed to help you navigate and overcome perfectionism, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
