What do you do when you have everything that's "supposed" to make you happy—faith, family, career—but you're miserable? How do you move forward when the very way you view the world makes joy a physical impossibility, now or in the future?
To most people, perfectionism seems fairly harmless. When did a little attention to detail ever hurt anyone, right? Which makes sense—you know, until it leads to problems like chronic anxiety, lifelong eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts.
Having suffered with perfectionism since childhood, author Scott Gunderson has over thirty years' experience dealing with the subject. In this book, he shares challenges presented by his own perfectionist mindset and offers insight and resources that have helped him begin to shift attitudes and overcome obstacles.
In sharing his story, Scott seeks to normalize imperfection and encourage others to recognize and overcome their own challenges.
