Överallt omkring oss möter vi budskapet att vi ska vilja ha mer än det vi har: ett bättre jobb, ett rikare socialt liv, ett vackrare hem och mer väluppfostrade barn. Kort och gott att sträva efter att vara så perfekta som möjligt. Men måste vi verkligen det?

Om du någonsin har känt dig överväldigad av samtidens själsdödande krav så är Perfektionsfällan boken för dig. Du lär dig att prioritera det som är viktigt, att möta världen som den är, inte som den borde vara, och att söka efter mening istället för perfektion. Och inte minst lär du dig omfamna kraften i att fylla ditt liv med fler saker som är lagom bra.

Brought to you by Penguin.When did ''good enough'' become the same as ''perfect''? Why does society increasingly promote ideals that are completely unrealistic? And what does it mean for all of us that perfectionism is on the rise?In The Perfection Trap, you''ll discover what''s really driving the rise in perfectionism, its impact on how we learn, work, parent and relate to ourselves and each other. From the personal to the impact on the economy, grounded in over a decade of research and filled with real stories, this timely book reveals how our quest for perfection impacts our health and mental well-being and promises practical techniques and policy proposals to help us break free of the perfection trap.©2023 Thomas Curran (P)2023 Penguin Audio

ONE OF BLOOMBERG'S BEST BOOKS OF 2023'Thomas Curran is the world's leading expert on perfectionism, and he's written the definitive book on why it's rising, how it wreaks havoc on our lives, and what we can do to stop it. If you've ever found yourself fearing failure, ruminating about mistakes, or just feeling that you aren't good enough, this is a must read' Adam Grant'A fascinating and panoramic analysis of perfectionism in modern capitalist societies' Grace BlakeleyToday, burnout and depression are at record levels, driven by a combination of intense workplace competition, the comparative world of social media, the quest for elite credentials, and helicopter parenting. Society continually broadcasts the need to want more, and that we have to be perfect to get it. Why is this a trap, and how can we escape it?Gathering a wide range of contemporary evidence, acclaimed professor at the London School of Economics Thomas Curran calls for both a mindset shift and broader, societal change. He explores the paradoxical effects of perfectionism on everything from performance to social and financial inequality, and shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect - and how we can create a culture that celebrates the joys of imperfection.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the soul-crushing need to compete for more or to be the best, The Perfection Trap is for you. Learn to prioritise what's important, meet the world where it is and strive for purpose instead of more by embracing the power of 'good enough' in your life.

Homeostasis involves a delicate interplay between generative and degenerative processes to maintain a stable internal environment. In biological systems, equilibrium is established and controlled through a series of negative feedback mechanisms driven by a range of signal transduction processes. Failures in these complex communication pathways result in instability leading to disease. Cancer represents a state of imbalance caused by an excess of cell proliferation. In contrast, neurodegeneration is a consequence of excessive cell loss in the nervous system. Both of these disorders exhort profound tolls on humanity and they have been subject to a great deal of research designed to ameliorate this suffering. For the most part, the topics have been viewed as distinct and rarely do opportunities arise for transdisciplinary discussions among experts in both fields. However, cancer and neurodegeneration represent yin-yang counterpoints in the regulation of cell growth, and it is reasonable to hypothesize that key regulatory events mediated by oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in cancer may also affect neurodegenerative processes

Was ist Ihre größte Schwäche? – Ich bin ein bisschen perfektionistisch. Dies ist die Standardantwort auf die knifflige letzte Frage im Bewerbungsgespräch, steht der Wille zu Perfektion doch allgemeinhin für Motivation, Leistungsbereitschaft und Entschlossenheit. Die Kehrseite: Der Druck zu Selbstoptimierung und Effizienz durchzieht inzwischen alle Lebensbereiche. Unsere Erfolge sollen immer noch größer sein, unsere Partnerschaften glücklicher, unsere Körper sportlicher, unsere Urlaube spektakulärer, unsere Einrichtungen stilvoller. Wir sind: nie gut genug.Der Psychologe Thomas Curran zeigt in diesem Buch eindrücklich die Schattenseiten dieser Entwicklung auf, denn durch das verbissene Streben nach Bestleistungen vernachlässigen Perfektionisten Ernährung, Schlaf und Erholung. Angst- und Zwangsstörungen, Depression und Burnout folgen. Wie können wir die fatalen Folgen dieses ungesunden Perfektionismus aufhalten? Das erklärt Thomas Curran auf bestechende Weise.
