About this title

Synopsis

Perfectionism can have a helpful upside when it contributes to achievement and success. But unhelpful perfectionism can prevent us from taking risks or trying new things for fear of failure, judgment, or rejection-and ultimately keep us from reaching our highest goals. The innovative, evidence-based approach in this workbook will help readers struggling with perfectionism maintain their high standards while also accepting their mistakes with compassion and kindness.
