Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected. Imperfectionism frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.

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!

I have had a perfectionist condition 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!

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.

Repetitive, boring, waste of time
Don’t waste your time or money. Instead look up “gamification” and the “Pareto principal” and go from there.
The book just keeps talking about “what is going to happen later in the book”. There is nothing useful in here besides possibly the exercises... but they’re not very effectively communicated via audiobook- would work better to see them written down. Even then only a couple of these exercises seemed usable. The only helpful information was mention of Pareto principal and gamification but there is not enough info on either in this book to truly be helpful.
