Webinar: The Perfection Deception
On October 6th, our guest was Dr. Jane Bluestein. We discussed her latest book, The Perfection Deception.
Most people mistakenly confuse perfectionism with a healthy striving for excellence, but there is a big difference. One can lead to great achievement or at least great learning by allowing us to take risks, make mistakes, and forge ahead anyway. The other is a psychological wound that invites constant comparison with others and traps us with all-or-nothing thinking that can paralyze us in a cycle of indecision, fear, and self-loathing. We discussed how to help children achieve their personal best, learn from mistakes and, understand that no one is perfect.
