Many people consider perfectionism to be the main labor virtue. “I’m a perfectionist” – people usually pronounce these words with pride. It would seem that the habit of constantly finding shortcomings in yourself and your work is necessary for personal and professional development. But the authors of this book think differently. They studied the problem of perfectionism for more than 20 years (and they themselves in the past strived for “unhealthy perfection”) and were convinced: perfectionism is toxic. In other words, a perfectionist constantly humiliates himself and makes him feel stressed. This, in turn, leads to emotional burnout and serious illness. But it is very difficult to curb this desire for super-perfection.
In this book you will find more than 50 practices that will save you from excessive perfectionism: they will help you better manage your time, focus on what is important, and learn to “live with mistakes.” The authors developed them over many years and tested them on themselves. Choose the technique that suits you best and practice for at least two weeks. Warning: Even then, don't try to do everything perfectly. And remember the main phrase of an anti-perfectionist: “That’s enough for today.”
