Thoughtful, practical and focused on progress
Perfectionism can sneak into everything- work, parenting, even how we manage our time. So, I liked that this audiobook tackles it from all angles. The parts about how perfectionism affects our kids and relationships really stuck with me, especially the reminder to ease up on unrealistic expectations. I also appreciated the mindset shift from chasing perfection to focusing on progress and it felt doable, not just motivational fluff. A few of the exercises were pretty surface-level, but the real-life examples helped bring the ideas home. The narrator had a warm, thoughtful tone that matched the reflective nature of the content. Definitely a helpful listen if you're trying to be kinder to yourself and those around you.

A Calming and Encouraging Listen
I picked up this audiobook because I’ve struggled with perfectionism for as long as I can remember. It really helped me understand where some of my anxiety and pressure come from, and gave me clear ways to start letting go of unrealistic expectations. I appreciated the focus on self-compassion and small changes rather than trying to "fix" everything at once. The narration is warm and steady, making it feel like a supportive conversation. A great listen for anyone ready to find more balance and joy.

Great Guide to Feel less Stress
I’ve been told I’m a perfectionist, but I didn’t fully understand what that meant at the time. As I’ve become more self-aware, I can now see how perfectionism has affected different areas of my life. This book helped me better understand those patterns and showed me how to shift my mindset so I can feel more at ease and adjust my expectations. It also covers ways to manage stress, practice self-compassion, and create healthier relationships by not holding everything, and everyone—to impossible standards. Which I have been living in circles of stress, and that hasn't been happy. I never realized how much perfectionism was shaping my self-image, but now it’s clear. Truly a helpful and insightful read.

I have such issues with getting things exactly right, so I chose this book in hopes that it will help me let go a little. The burnout is intense most days! I found the exercises easy and enjoyable. I can tell already that they'll help me find a balance and maintain happiness in my everyday life. "Perfect" for moms, business folk, and high achievers. Also a good excuse to just let go of unrealistic expectations for yourself and others in your life.

A Refreshing Perspective on Letting Go
As a textbook perfectionist, this book on how perfectionism can impact various aspects of life was a valuable read. It discusses managing stress and cultivating self-compassion, as well as the ability to build healthier relationships by not expecting so much. I never thought about how perfectionism affects my self-image, but it surely does. That’s probably where I need the most work. Time management is also addressed. The main point I got from the book is that the truth is imperfect, and people want the truth. The recommended CALM method seems like a great approach to letting go of perfection.
