  The rewards of perfection are obvious - success, financial security, the respect of family, friends and colleagues. But perfectionism comes at a price as perfectionists tend toward uncertainty, compulsive worrying, workaholism, emotional guardedness, stubborness, and the need to be above criticism. Setting excessively high standards only leads to disappointment, and rigidity often prevents us from enjoying life and forming healthy relationships. This book addresses the often painful and lonely world of those who are proud to call themselves perfectionists. It offers insights and practical ways of moving away from obsession towards a more relaxed and happier life.
