Making Peace with Imperfection
Discover Your Perfectionism Type, End the Cycle of Criticism, and Embrace Self-Acceptance
Author: Elliot D. Cohen, PhD
Perfectionism may seem like a badge of honor, but in reality it often leads to stress, worry, overload, and strained relationships. In Making Peace with Imperfection, philosopher and therapist Elliot D. Cohen, PhD, provides an essential guide for breaking free from the perfectionism trap and cultivating true self-acceptance.
Drawing on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cohen reveals the ten types of perfectionism and shows how they stem from irrational beliefs. Through a practical six-step method, you’ll learn how to challenge these beliefs, release harmful self-criticism, and replace destructive patterns with compassion and balance.
This book is a roadmap to freedom from the unrealistic demands of “perfect” living—helping you embrace imperfection, reduce stress, and create a calmer, more authentic life.
