Nobody's perfect*, but striving for perfection can get us into mental health troubles and affect our day-to-day lives.

My guest, Thomas Curran, is the world's leading expert on perfectionism and in his book The Perfection Trap, he shares his personal experience of how impossibly high expectations stand in the way of happiness, health, and success. He also talks about why this is a growing problem and what we can do about it.
