Is your perfectionism causing you anxiety, stress, and worry? If
you identify as a perfectionist, you may not see your perfectionism
as a problem. But striving for unrealistic standards, basing your
self-worth on meeting those standards, and engaging in persistent
self-criticism will ultimately lead to anxiety, stress, worry,
burnout, and unhappiness. So, how can you distinguish between
"helpful" and "hurtful" perfectionism and stop holding yourself and
others to unrealistically high standards? Written by two clinical
psychologists, The Anxious Perfectionist shines a much-needed light
on the hidden costs of "being the best," and offers essential
skills based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you
cope with the anxiety that is driven by your perfectionism. You'll
learn how your "need to be perfect" can actually hinder your
productivity, and keep you from reaching your goals. You'll also
learn skills to help you gain distance from negative self-talk and
criticism, let go of unhelpful and self-limiting labels such as
"success" or "failure," and give yourself and others permission to
make mistakes while still honoring your high aspirations. If you're
struggling with feelings of anxiety and stress, and suspect your
perfectionism may be to blame, this guide will show you how to stop
getting in the way of your own success, and live a life guided by
your deepest values.
