HTML:From psychotherapist Katherine Morgan Schafler, an invitation to every â??recovering perfectionistâ?ť to challenge the way they look at perfectionism, and the way they look at themselves. Weâ??ve been looking at perfectionism all wrong. As psychotherapist and former on-site therapist at Google Katherine Morgan Schafler argues in The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, you donâ??t have to stop being a perfectionist to be healthy. For women who are sick of being given the generic advice to â??find balance,â?ť a new approach has arrived. Which of the five types of perfectionist are you? Classic, intense, Parisian, messy, or procrastinator? As you identify your unique perfectionist profile, you'll learn how to manage each form of perfectionism to work for you, not against you. Beyond managing it, you'll learn how to embrace and even enjoy your perfectionism. Yes, enjoy! Full of stories and brimming with humor, empathy, and depth, this book is a love letter to the ambitious, high achieving, full-of-life clients who filled the authorâ??s private practice, and who changed her life. Itâ??s a clarion call for all women to dare to want more without feeling greedy or ungrateful. Ultimately, this book will show you how to make the single greatest trade youâ??ll ever make in your life, which is to exchange superficial control f Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I think Schafler offers a new take on perfectionism, if not necessarily on self-esteem and identity. The most concise summary is her words early in the book, “Perfectionism is a phenomenon, not a disorder.” I especially appreciate the gendered lens of analysis and wish it had been even more focused.
I also wish the book had been better edited; it’s easily 25% too long, and the second half is better than the first. ( )
