When did 'good enough' become the same as 'perfect'? Why does society increasingly promote ideals that are completely unrealistic? And what does it mean for all of us that perfectionism is on the rise? In The Perfection Trap, you'll discover what's really driving the rise in perfectionism, its impact on how we learn, work, parent and relate to ourselves and each other. From the personal to the impact on the economy, grounded in over a decade of research and filled with real stories, this timely book reveals how our quest for perfection impacts our health and mental well-being.

This book starts like many other psychology books written for lay people - think Mindset, Grit. And it does this very well, laying out the science and weaving in great storytelling so that we can understand the impact that perfectionism has in our lives. In particular the book grapples with the distinction between perfectionism and striving for excellence. But then Curran dares to do what many other authors don't. He explicitly draws the connections between capitalism and western culture and perfectionism. This recognizes that perfectionism is not just an individual issue, but a systemic issue that we are battling. Overall, an illuminating listen.
