{"product_id":"the-complete-perfectionist-9780385480222","title":"The Complete Perfectionist","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerfection is an ideal that makes life worth living--the internal applause as you hit the perfect note  write the perfect piece  reach the goal you once thought unattainable. Yet many of us abandon that pursuit and settle for less than what we secretly want: perfect work  perfect love  perfect selves.  Few have courted perfection like Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramn Jimnez  who felt both fear and exhilaration before his own high standards and negotiated shrewdly with his own personal best.  Drawing upon Juan Ramns aphorisms  Christopher Maurer meditates upon his struggle and gives us a guide to the pursuit of lifes ultimate pleasure: the dream of doing perfect work. Juan Ramns relentless quest for the perfect poem leads here to an inspiring new vision of how to reach perfection in any endeavor.  Juan Ramn analyzes the most radical elements of perfection: how to create and revise  reconcile noise and silence  listen to dream and instinct  learn from nature  seize the moment  and calm the fear of death.  The Complete Perfectionist provides advice and encouragement for anyone for whom mere excellence is not enough.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45655952195637,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385480229","price":68.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385480222.jpg?v=1781946243","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-complete-perfectionist-9780385480222","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
