This book has an intriguing premise, and I liked how the author breaks down perfectionism into different parts - ie fighting the urge to be productive all the time, how to connect more meaningfully with people via vulnerability, not being so hard on yourself when you make a mistake. I just found it hard to focus on the nitty gritty of each chapter, which I think (through no fault of the author) may have been because I am simply not currently in a headspace to be fully absorbed by a book presenting lots of research and technical terms. I will probably return to this book during a less busy time in my life when (ironically) my mind is not plagued by a never ending to-do list and the need to be hyperproductive.

In other words, I will work on not being perfectionistic when I feel it is the perfect time to focus on it. 😂
