Praise for The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control

“Are you – gasp – an ambitious perfectionist? Have you tried and failed to find that elusive sense of “balance” we’re all meant to seek? If you answered yes to these questions, this is the book you must read. Morgan Schafler has written the definitive guide for anyone who’s ready to walk a crucial pathway: from the appearance of control, to the possession of a quiet power.”
–Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet
 
“From an emerging thought leader, an irresistible invitation to reclaim your natural state of wholeness, your joy and your life.”
–Deepak Chopra, New York Times bestselling author of Abundance
 
“A valuable, much-needed perspective that gives you permission to be more in a world that’s telling you to be less.”
–Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
 
“Morgan Schafler lays bare provocative new insights into how “perfectionism” is often just code for “women excelling too much,” and identifies the strategies and mindset every high-achieving woman needs to quell her inner critic and embrace her true talents.”
–Holly Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman
 
“An accessible, actionable guide for how to aim high without overthinking or punishing yourself along the way. This book is a must-read for anxious achievers who want to remain ambitious but could operate with a bit more self-compassion.”
–Liz Fosslien, coauthor and illustrator of the bestselling books Big Feelings and No Hard Feelings

“A thoroughly original approach to this important topic. Grounded in research, the book uses stories from the author’s years as a therapist to illustrate vividly that perfectionism is a phenomenon, not a disorder, and that it can be managed to increase one’s power and joy. How I wish this book had been available years ago—it could have changed my life! Let it change yours.”
–Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D., author, cultural theorist, feminist activist
 
“I love a book that starts by normalizing the reader’s current experience. We don’t need to be fixed, we just need a gentle guide to show us how to work with our unique personalities. This book would be my first recommendation to anyone struggling with perfectionism.”
–KC Davis, author of How to Keep House While Drowning
 
“Combining vivid storytelling, rigorous research, and deep analysis, Morgan Schafler provides a practical guide that can help you learn, thrive, and flourish.”
–Tal Ben-Shahar, New York Times bestselling author of Happier
