Perfectionism is something that I thought only I suffered from...(and of course a few other high achievers and people with very high demands)...at least, that's how it sometimes feel. But in this book perfectionism is described in a way that makes it clear to me that this is probably a more common problem than I thought.Especially the part on perfectionism in relationships got to me...very "interesting" (or should I say, scary...??) to see how you could be sabotaging your relationship with your spouse just because you are not able or willing to accept that you are loved. Wow...! The book show you how to get out of that behavior for good.Also, a technique that has already worked for me in trying to cure perfectionism, is to purposely make mistakes in daily life, and accept them as a way of helping your self to relax a bit, is very effective. An important part of that is also how to apply the 80/20 rule in daily life.I highly recommend this book if you feel that you are tensed and can't relax in daily life. It's probably because you need to let go of perfectionistic ideas and behaviors.
