Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive and The Power of Regret In the tradition of Brené Brown's bestseller The Gifts of Imperfection, this illuminating book by an acclaimed professor at the London School of Economics explores how the pursuit of perfection can become a dangerous obsession that leads to burnout and depression--keeping us from achieving our goals.
