The advice we hear on perfectionism is always the same - let go of it! Forget it! Perfectionism is bad for you. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong? What if perfectionism is your superpower?

In The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, psychotherapist Katherine Morgan Schafler says you don't have to stop being a perfectionist to be happy and fulfilled. Her smart, witty book is a new approach for women who are over the generic advice to 'find balance'.

Morgan Schafler's book identifies five distinct types of perfectionist - Classic, Parisian, Messy, Intense, and Procrastinating. As you identify your unique perfectionist profile, you'll learn how to manage each form of perfectionism to work for you, not against you. Beyond managing it, you'll learn how to embrace and even enjoy your perfectionism. Yes, enjoy!

With handy self-assessments and actionable advice tailored to the unique needs of each perfectionist type, The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control is the game-changing companion for women who dare to want more out of life.

You’re not weird, you are most likely a perfectionist

The best book on perfectionism I’ve read and listened to, ever. Not only does this negate the message that perfectionism is a flaw, it provides counsel to leverage your power of perfectionism in a healthy way. We’re all different and your perfectionism will be unique, just like you. Loved the author’s voice narrating the book, and the whole experience felt like a gentle reminder that “you are okay, even with flaws, even when you don’t understand yourself all the time”. This book and its message is precious and timely, and one I will read and recommend again and again.

Glued to my earbuds, delightful & practicle

I loved this book from her first story to the last.

A powerful book about the truths, the triumphs, shadows and challenges of life with practical ways to move toward, find your power and use the your own gifts to excel and find joy.

Her voice is absolutely beautiful and the story’s will be etched into your mind.

Great advice & observations from a story listener.

I loved it!
