Pursuit of Perfect: How to Stop Chasing Perfection and Start Living a Richer, Happier Life – Tal Ben-Shahar

Pursuit of Perfect: How to Stop Chasing Perfection and Start Living a Richer, Happier Life is a brilliant new guide to living a happier life (even if it’s not so perfect) Tal Ben-Shahar knows about the burden of perfection. As professor of the most popular course in Harvard’s history, he has seen the best and the brightest buckle under the pressures of perfectionism.

In his provocative new book, he argues that people are unhappy because they’re caught in The Myth of Perfection, a dangerous trend fueling society’s obsession with youth, beauty, money, success, and having it all. Ben-Shahar believes you need to be more realistic in your goals, and more accepting of yourself, to live a richer, fuller, happier life. The Pursuit of Perfect shows you how.
