Do you procrastinate certain tasks because you're afraid you won't carry them out perfectly? If you've answered "yes" to one or both of these questions, chances are you're a perfectionist. And while there's nothing wrong with hard work and high standards, perfectionism can also take over your life if you let it. So, how can you find balance?</p><p>With this workbook, you'll identify the causes of your perfectionism and the ways it is negatively impacting your life. Rather than measuring your self-worth by productivity and accomplishments, you'll learn to exercise self-compassion, and extend that compassion to others. You'll also learn ways to prioritize the things that really matter to you, without focusing on attaining fixed goals.</p><p>Life isn't perfect, and neither are we. If you're ready to break free from out-of-control perfectionism and start living a richer, fuller life, this workbook will help you get started.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I'm a big fan of workbooks because they allow the reader to become an active participant in their self-help efforts. Sharon Martin's contribution to help people fight perfectionism is a fantastic antidote to getting perfectionism's maladaptive behaviors better under control.
