When Perfect isn't Good Enough by Martin M Antony

Perfectionism becomes a problem when it interferes with competing a task, impairs relationships, or otherwise interferes with getting on with your life. This book explores the causes of perfectionism and offers cognitive-behavioural strategies for overcoming it. Its exercises aim to help readers to challenge unrealistic expectations, and to work on specific problems raised by the desire for perfection.
