If you’ve ever:1. Been told that you’re “too intense"2. Felt dissatisfied with your accomplishments, no matter the significance3. Been asked to relax or take it easy4. Felt like your personality is the problem....this book is for you.Psychotherapist and former on-site therapist at Google Katherine Schafler wants to get one thing straight: your perfectionism isn’t a problem, it’s a gift. It’s what makes you so brilliant and successful in the first place. And like any power, it just needs to be harnessed. In The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control, Schafler outlines the five types of perfectionists – the classic perfectionist, the angry perfectionist, the Parisian perfectionist, the procrastinator perfectionist, and the messy perfectionist – and shows you how to manage each form of perfectionism by combatting self-punishment and embracing self-compassion. With Schafler’s advice, you’ll be able to finally tap into your power without letting it rule your life. Remember, your perfectionism will never go away – and that’s a good thing.
