An insightful guide

What made the experience of listening to The Joy of Imperfection the most enjoyable?

I found this book helpful in pointing out why perfectionism actually makes life harder for myself and sometimes harder for the people around me. The author shares many personal life experiences that illustrate these points and how he overcame this tendency.

What other book might you compare The Joy of Imperfection to and why?

This book was similar in non-preachy tone and practical content to Shad Helmstetter's "What To Say When You Talk To Yourself."

What about Joe Hempel’s performance did you like?

Joe Hempel's delivery is easy to listen to and uplifting.

Highly liberating, both in context and delivery.

Another fine work by an author who's been in the trenches.
An entertaining, and informative excursion into possibilities
that are unleashed when we kiss the concept of perfection
goodbye!

A great one to listen to on Audibles...

a great book to listen to even just 5 minutes a day. I plan to listen to it again.. and repeating the exercises!

Exceptional!

I have had perfectionist behavior since high school. I have been fighting it off and constantly analyzing why perfectionism was affecting me negatively. This (audio)book, however, gave me the psychological tools to further reflect upon my perfectionism and how to combat it most efficiently. Thank you to Damon Zahariades and Joe Hempel!

Life changing!

This book felt like it was speaking directly to me. I love that it’s short and practical and gives you real advice on how to make changes in trying to be perfect. I was paralyzed with fear everyday in a new job and after getting defensive after every critique from my boss, I was desperate for help. I love how this guy didn’t go into the psychology of it. It’s like, “accept you’re a perfectionist. Got it? Why are you like this? Not important. What’s important is how to retrain your brain to enjoy life.” I’m so thankful someone wrote this book for me!
