Books Descriptions
For many of us, perfectionism can bring life's most desired rewards. But when the
obsessive need for perfection and control gets in the way of our professional and
emotional lives, the cost becomes too high. Although many of us appear cool and
confident on the outside, inside we are in emotional turmoil, trying to satisfy
everyone, attempting to direct the future, and feeling that we are failing.In TOO
PERFECT, Dr. Allan Mallinger draws on twenty years of research and observations
from his private practice to show how perfectionism can sap energy, complicate even
the simplest decisions, and take the enjoyment out of life. For workaholics or neat
freaks, for anyone who fears change or making mistakes, needs rigid rules, is
excessively frugal or obstinate, TOO PERFECT offers revealing self-tests, fascinating
case histories, and practical strategies to help us overcome obsessiveness and reclaim
our right to happiness.
