Do you want to be perfect? Or do you want to be happy? We're all laboring under our own and society's expectations to be perfect in every wayto look younger, to make more money, to be happy all the time. But according to Tal Ben-Shahar, the New York Times bestselling author of Happier, the pursuit of perfect may actually be the number-one internal obstacle to finding happiness. Applying cutting-edge research in the field of positive psychology - the scientific principles taught in his wildly popular course at Harvard University - Ben-Shahar takes us off the impossible pursuit of perfection and directs us to happiness, richness, and true fulfillment. He shows us the freedom derived from not trying to do it all right all the time and the real lessons that failure and painful emotions can teach us. He provides exercises for self reflection, meditations, and Time-Ins to help you rediscover what you really want out of life.… (mehr)

This is a secondary referral: meaning I heard Kevin Worthen quote from it and decided it might be worth looking into.

This book had it all... in the simplest language possible.
It talked about recovery from grief, how to avoid perfectionism, how to live with anxiety and where it comes from. I loved it. And would definitely recommend it highly. A simple read that contains enough truth to feel like you have something to chew on for the next couple of days.

Fun Fact: It was first published under "Being Happy." I discovered that when I tried to read one after the other. But I feel like this is a better title that more accurately reflects what the book is trying to do-- help perfectionists to recover. ( )

This would be most impactful book of my life, I read so far. ( )

While the advice contained in this book is helpful, I have to ask myself did I need to read so much of this to get the message? The answer quite simply is “no”. Having make the point that striving for perfection essentially leads only to low self esteem when we inevitably fail, there is not really a lot more that can be said, yet Ben-Sharah manages to take over 250 pages proving it.

Yes, it contains proof, and exercises to help the afflicted, but it all come down to that first simple statement. But I very soon became impatient with what I was reading, not to mention extremely irritated at the constant interchange between “he” and “she” in the examples; pointless political correctness that simple gets in the way.

I don't think I really needed to plough through all that tautologous writing to get the point. I could go on, but then the same accusation could be levelled at me! ( )

Excellent book. I love the overall realism. My biggest take away was his suggestion to move our attitude from perfectionism to optimism. A perfectionist is one who rejects failure, painful emotions, success and any reality that interferes with a goal. The optimist will not look forward to the above but accepts them and grows from them. ( )
