Do you have trouble going to bed at night when there’s a
mess in the kitchen? Do you think you would be happier if
only you could lose weight, be a better parent, work
smarter, reduce stress, exercise more, and make better
decisions? You’re not perfect. But guess what? You don’t have to be. All of us struggle with high expectations from time to time.
But for many women, the worries can become debilitating–and
often, we don’t even know we’re letting unrealistic
expectations color our thinking. The good news is, we have
the power to break free from the perfectionist trap–and
internationally renowned health psychologist, Dr. Alice
Domar can show you how. Be Happy Without Being Perfect offers a way out of the
self-imposed handcuffs that this thinking brings, providing
concrete solutions, practical advice, and action plans that
teach you how to:
• Assess your tendency toward perfectionism in all areas of
your life
• Set realistic goals
• Alleviate the guilt and shame that perfectionism can trigger
• Manage your anxiety with clinically proven self-care
strategies
• Get rid of the unrealistic and damaging expectations that
are hurting you–for good! Filled with the personal insights of more than fifty women,
Be Happy Without Being Perfect is your key to a happier,
calmer, and more enjoyable life.
