When Perfect Isn’t Good Enough: Strategies for Coping with Perfectionism
Authors: Martin M. Antony, PhD & Richard P. Swinson, MD
Break Free from the Trap of Perfectionism
It’s natural to want to avoid mistakes—but perfectionism takes it too far. While it can sometimes be praised as a strength, living with constant pressure to get everything “just right” often leads to stress, procrastination, anxiety, and unhappiness.
In this fully revised and updated second edition, When Perfect Isn’t Good Enough offers evidence-based strategies grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help readers understand the roots of perfectionism and overcome the ways it interferes with joy and success. Through practical exercises and insights, you’ll learn to challenge unrealistic standards, let go of excessive worry, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
This guide also addresses perfectionism’s link to issues like depression, anger, social anxiety, and body image—helping you discover the freedom and peace that comes with embracing imperfection.
