In The Perfectionist’s Handbook, clinical psychologist Jeff Szymanski helps readers identify the seductions of perfectionism:

• When “more is better” turns into “diminishing returns”
• No one likes making mistakes. However, how can you translate mistakes into improved outcomes
• Everything feels equally important. How and why to learn to prioritize
• When “Do it yourself if you want it done right” works and when and why it backfires
• Why taking breaks (you think you don’t have time for) improves performance
