The Perfectionism Paradox (Truths and Myths)
In theory, perfectionists are committed to excellence, meticulous, hard-working, and take immense pride in their work. In reality, they are overworked, chronically burned out, and self-sabotaging, which results in worry, anxiety, indecisiveness, and procrastination due to paralysing fears of failure. With illuminating case studies and evidence-based strategies, Tom explores the science of perfectionism and offers eye-opening insights into how letting go of the need for perfection can paradoxically unlock higher performance and greater fulfilment in our lives and careers.
