Today, burnout and depression are at record levels, driven by a combination of intense workplace competition, oppressively ubiquitous social media encouraging comparisons with others, the quest for elite credentials, and helicopter parenting. Society continually broadcasts the need to want more, and to be perfect. Gathering a wide range of contemporary evidence, Curran calls for both introspection and broader, societal change. He shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect, and in so doing, win for ourselves a more purposeful and contented life.

Author mentions correlation versus causation but ignores his own advice.
Revisado: 08-23-23
The author’s sweeping judgment against the current system is a gross oversimplification of the problem of “what constitutes a good life”. There are myriad ills in the world - just as perfectionism can cause many problems, so can apathy. The offered remedy of “just accept good enough” is a dissatisfying answer. The author’s jump from high correlation of anxiety and “perfectionism” behaviors is certainly notable and worth considering. However prescription of rejecting the system and accepting your own personal status quo is not justified by the evidence cited. Figuring out a “good life” is hard and changes each day.
