Perfectionism. Cognitive-behavioral approach. Martin Sh.

Have you noticed an unrealisticly high demand for yourself or other people? Do you know the grumbling voice of inner critic, which constantly itchs that you are not good enough no matter what? If the answer to one or both of these questions is a confident “yes”, then you are most likely a perfectionist. Of course, there is nothing to worry about in hard work and high life standards, but the need for perfection can interfere with happiness and spoil life. How to find a balance? This book will help you realize the cause of your perfectionism and understand to what extent the desire for impeccability poisons your life and relationships with loved ones. Instead of evaluating your actions and achievements according to the criteria of “ideality”, you will learn a condescending attitude towards yourself and other people. Ultimately, you will learn how to overcome the craving for perfection and stop focusing on achieving ambitious goals. If you are ready to get rid of perfectionism and begin to lead a more rich life, then the book will become an indispensable assistant for you.
