Episode description

There is a downside to being a perfectionist. It's great to want to do things well, which often leads to high achievement, but a corresponding limitation can limit happiness. This video shares some statistics and graphs to show you the balance between "self-improvement" and "self-acceptance." Sometimes, people get those two things confused, leading to dissatisfaction in work and life. Research shows that the people who focus on "perfection" tend to perform lower. They live with more anxiety and tension, which shows up in their performance. Overcome your perfectionism by striving to be good, but don't demand it. As part of this video, I share a clip from my interview with Dr. Nate Zinsser. Be sure to watch the full interview.
