After reading this book, I really believe perfectionism is a destructive force that has made me less productive and less happy. I'm getting more done and enjoying getting things done. It's already helping me to appreciate the small steps I make in the right direction instead of creating huge expectations for myself that only feed procrastination. I found it to be a combination of meaningful shifts in thinking and practical methods for carrying those out. The concepts are cogent and get to the heart of the matter rather than just sighting this or that useful study. After reading many books on the topics of motivation and productivity, I have to say this book stands out.
It is well written, concise, and helpful. I listened to this on audiobook, and when I was done I did something I've never done before. Stephen enjoys minimalism, playing basketball, and exploring the world. His first book, Mini Habits, has become an international bestseller and is being translated into more than a dozen languages. Stephen Guise has been writing about and researching personal growth strategies since 2004. Imperfectionists aren’t so ironic as to have perfect lives: they’re just happier, healthier, and more productive at doing what matters. This book applies the science of behavior modification directly to the roots of perfectionism, resulting in a new and superior method for change. The new way is to show people how simple but highly strategic "mini actions” can empower them to gradually and effortlessly “let go" of perfectionism. The old way to approach perfectionism was to inspire people to “let go” of their need for perfection and hope they could do it. Imperfectionism, however, frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal. Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. What’s the New Way to Cure Perfectionism?įrom an early age, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color that strays outside the lines is considered to be a mistake that must be avoided.
