The Perfectionism Trap and How to Escape

Perfectionism is a trap that takes away freedom and strangles enjoyment.

If you are trapped by your own perfectionism, The Perfectionism Trap by Dr. Richard Walters will help you to understand how you got in the trap and help you to get out. He defines perfectionists as "people who believe they must think and act without flaw," and says, "Perfectionists remember the past with regret, don't enjoy the present as much as they might, and face the future with dread."

Whether you are a perfectionist yourself or have to interrelate with one, this book will not only help you to change who you are and what you think and do, it will help you deal with: procrastination and workaholism, perfectionism and parenting, living with a perfectionist.

The Perfectionism Trap reminds us that in this imperfect world absolute perrfection is unattainable. Spiritually healthy persons must resign themselves to settling for excellence in performance without condemning themselves for falling short of perfection.
