Overcoming Perfectionism: Solutions for Perfectionists by Liisa Kyle, Ph.D. is an insightful and thought-provoking book that speaks about overcoming perfectionism. To all of us who are harsh on ourselves, trying to be perfectionists, the book is an excellent tool that will help us overcome our need to be perfect in all that we do. Perfectionists are rarely happy, and if you have identified yourself as a perfectionist then this book has excellent techniques and suggestions to wean you away from the habits that make us perfectionists. Are you a perfectionist? Read on to learn what makes you a perfectionist and, if you identify as one, then this is a perfect book so that we can tone down our habits a little bit and liberate ourselves from being perfectionists.

The topic is refreshingly original and the author handles it with clarity and precision, helping us to understand how our perfectionism can affect others, what perfection really is, the three essential truths to overcome perfectionism, how to be less negative, how to be less judgmental, how to move from anxiety to serenity, and how to overcome the life we are living. The book has a lot of activities, tools, strategies, and practical advice for all us and we can try them out and see what works best for us, depending on our situation, experience, and personality. The helpful daily practices and activities in each chapter will take us on a journey of self-discovery and the tips can be tailored to suit our own personality and circumstances.
