The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power by Katherine Morgan Schafler

4.5

funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

---

This has been on my TBR list for years, and a part of me knew that picking up this book would be a direct call out to a lot of my behaviors, which is why I think it's taken me so long to read it. Although a few pages in Schafler notes that she wrote this book specifically for female-identifying readers, the "perfectionist' in me knew that since I was already a few pages in, not finishing this book would haunt me forever, and I'm so glad I did. Schafler often so much advice through research and anecdotes for every kind of perfectionist, calling the reader to reflect on what they might have always viewed as a weakness, being their greatest strength.
