The perfectionist's dilemma : learn the art of self -compassion and become a happy achiever / Tara Cousineau, PhD.

Cousineau, Tara, (author.).

Summary:
In The Perfectionist's Dilemma, psychologist Tara Cousineau explores the paradox of perfectionism, rooted in the tension between belonging, excellence, and meaningful living. She argues that perfectionism, often fueled by societal myths of individualism and hard work, can be transformed through self-compassion and self-acceptance. Cousineau introduces a six-step EVOLVE method--Embody the moment, Validate experience, Open your heart, Love your inner critic, Vow for change, and Energize excellence--to help readers replace self-criticism with inner worth, humanity, and leadership. Through real-life stories and actionable steps, the book guides perfectionists toward alignment of mind, body, heart, and spirit, fostering happiness and balanced achievement.
