Why read it?

2 authors picked The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I've never been told that being a perfectionist wasn't bad until this book came along and changed everything about how I thought about my whole life.

This might seem like an odd choice if you’re searching for a book to cure your heartbreak—but hear me out.

I think sometimes we stay in relationships that aren’t a great fit for us entirely too long because we’re striving to have a picture-perfect life. Dr. Schafler doesn’t directly take on relationships, but she does teach you how to use your perfectionist tendencies for good, in ways that serve your life and your ambitions, instead of running your life or having you out here making terrible choices (like drunk dialing ol’dude…).
