Books like The perfection deception by Jane Bluestein


Most people mistakenly confuse perfectionism with a healthy striving for excellence, but there is a big difference. One can lead to great achievement or great learning, by allowing us to take risks, make mistakes, and forge ahead anyway. The other is a psychological wound that invites constant comparison with others, and traps us with all-or-nothing thinking that can paralyze us in a cycle of indecision, fear, and self-loathing. In this eye-opening book, Dr. Jane Bluestein shows us the truth about perfectionism.

The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism by 12460005|Sharon Martin book cover

📘 The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism

Do you hold yourself—and perhaps others—to extremely high standards? Do you have a nagging inner-critic that tells you you’re inadequate no matter how much you achieve? If the answer to one or both of these questions is a resounding “yes,” chances are you’re a perfectionist. And while there’s nothing wrong with working hard and having high standards, needing to be perfect can also get in the way of your happiness and take over your life. So, how can you find balance? With this workbook, you’ll identify the root causes of your perfectionism, and uncover how your need to be perfect has been negatively impacting your life and your relationships. Rather than measuring your self-worth by “error-free” productivity and accomplishments, you’ll learn to exercise self-compassion, and extend that compassion to others. Finally, you’ll discover ways to move past your need for perfection and stop focusing on achieving fixed goals. If you’re ready to break free from perfectionism and start living a richer, fuller life, this workbook will help you get started.
