About this title

Synopsis

People who identify as perfectionists don't always see their perfectionism as a problem. But they do recognize that their pursuit of perfection can lead to stress, worry, and anxiety. Written by two clinical psychologists, The Anxious Perfectionist addresses the hidden costs of ''being the best, '' and offers readers essential skills based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for coping with the anxiety that is driven by their perfectionism. With this guide, readers will learn to stop getting in the way of their own success, and live a life guided by their deepest values.
