The advice we hear on perfectionism is always the same - let go of it! Forget it! Perfectionism is bad for you. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong? What if perfectionism is your superpower?
In The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, psychotherapist Katherine Morgan Schafler says you don't have to stop being a perfectionist to be happy and fulfilled. Her smart, witty book is a new approach for women who are over the generic advice to 'find balance'.
Morgan Schafler's book identifies five distinct types of perfectionist - Classic, Parisian, Messy, Intense, and Procrastinating. As you identify your unique perfectionist profile, you'll learn how to manage each form of perfectionism to work for you, not against you. Beyond managing it, you'll learn how to embrace and even enjoy your perfectionism. Yes, enjoy!
With handy self-assessments and actionable advice tailored to the unique needs of each perfectionist type, The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control is the game-changing companion for women who dare to want more out of life.

And just when I thought I was perfect.
I bought this audio book to give an insight into many of my friends and colleagues who I perceive as perfectionists. Little knowing I was one myself.
For me the greatest insight was in understanding that it is a lack of energy and not time that prevents me from moving forward.
A truly insightful and generous book that shines a clear light on perfectionism and how to use it in its best form.

Beautiful 💗
I have just finished listening to this book and I found it beautiful, insightful and I feel I learned a lot, especially on self compassion which is something I now realise I took for granted. I loved Katherine’s voice, felt like an amazing therapy session and I think I’ll listen to this again for sure.

Focuses only on women
Has some good takeaways. However it’s too feministic, and also uses too many unnecessary examples to everything she mentions so it gets boring. Had to skip a lot, which is a shame…

Brilliant, a nuanced perspective
A well written (and read), insightful, helpful and nuanced perspective on perfectionism and mental wellness in general. She’s clearly thought deeply about this and I’m grateful this book entered my life.
