When Perfect Isn't Good Enough: Strategies for Coping with Perfectionism

About this book

"Many people define themselves at least in part by the work they do. Therefore it is generally important to them to do a good job. A salesperson generally experiences a sense of satisfaction after making a large sale. Similarly a student usually feels good after receiving an outstanding grade on an exam or assignment. You may enjoy some spring cleaning each year. However perfectionism may get in the way of your performance at work home or school. Even if your performance is not affected directly perfectionism may still reduce your ability to enjoy work or may influence the ways in which you treat others at work." --from When Perfect Isnt Good Enough
