A few months ago, I interviewed Professor Thomas Curran about perfectionism. He explained what perfectionism is, why it’s problematic, and how we can work to overcome it. So in this video, I’m sharing his best insights and ideas so hopefully you get some useful tips on how to beat perfectionism. Enjoy!
