    "A powerful, poignant book about the impossibly high expectations that stand in the way of health, happiness, and success. Thomas Curran is the world's leading expert on perfectionism, and he's written the definitive book on why it's rising, how it wreaks havoc on our lives, and what we can do to stop it. If you've ever found yourself fearing failure, ruminating about mistakes, or just feeling that you aren't good enough, this is a must-read." --Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast Re:Thinking, "Mr. Curran has produced a manifesto damning our economic system for creating and maintaining a warped set of values that drive perfectionism....I've always had a vague sense of these forces, but I've never seen this theory laid out so succinctly.... As an explanation of how the destructive illusion of perfectionism arises and as a critique of the economy that creates it, this is an important book." -- Bill Heavy, Wall Street Journal

    Synopsis
    "Offers a hopeful beacon and a steady path for anyone struggling to find their footing in a world of impossible standards." --Daniel H. 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. Today, burnout and depression are at record levels, driven by a combination of intense workplace competition, oppressively ubiquitous social media encouraging comparisons with others, the quest for elite credentials, and helicopter parenting. Society continually broadcasts the need to want more, and to be perfect. Gathering a wide range of contemporary evidence, Curran offers "a clear-eyed look at how perfectionism and its capitalistic 'obsession with boundless growth' has contributed to mass discontent and insecurity" ( Publishers Weekly ). He shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect, and in so doing, win for ourselves a more purposeful and contented life. Filled with "many useful lessons and valuable insights...This book offers an alternative path to a fulfilling, productive life" ( Kirkus Reviews ) and the relief of letting go to focus on what matters most.
