Down 40 Love with René Vidal

"Perfectionists work unsustainably hard and burnout," says Thomas Curran.

In this episode of Down 40 Love, best-selling author Thomas Curran shares the latest science on the pitfalls of perfectionism and strategies for becoming happier and more successful in your life and work.

5 Big Ideas:

💡 Perfectionism is an extreme form of deficit thinking.

💡 Perfectionists believe they must manage impressions at every moment of the day to make sure other people like them.

💡 There is non-existent relationship between perfectionism and (high) performance. 💡 Success is about working smarter, not (necessarily) harder.

💡 Perfectionism is not doing what you think it’s doing—it’s actually holding you back more than it’s pushing you forward.

3 Strategies for Overcoming Perfectionism

🎯 Recognize that perfectionism is not going to contribute to success.

🎯 Push yourself outside of your comfort zone.

🎯 Be compassionate to yourself—treat yourself with kindness.
