Someone requested this before I finished it, so I can't speak to the whole book. What I read was good. I very much wish it was made clear on the cover that this is a book for women, and mostly aimed at white women. I don't think the author/editors intended to exclude anyone, but making the female focus clear on the cover would have eliminated the aftertaste of bias. ( ) Maybe if this had been one of the first books I'd read about happiness, I might have a different opinion about it. I ended up skimming most of it. It was written in a casual, upbeat tone, began with a quiz, and was set up like a typical self-help book. The recommendations in each chapter also seemed a bit repetitive. The book isn't bad, but as I seem to have moved into a more inside-out approach with my happiness project, the simple "try these 5 techniques" style of this book isn't really what I'm looking for. I subject any self-help book to a simple litmus paper test: did it present some constructive ideas I hadn't though of before, or provide helpful tips to implement self-improvement strategies. Domar's slim volume provides both. Two themes in the user-friendly tome that I found useful involved the need to live in the "now" and simple strategies for savoring gratifying moments in life. The only mildly irritating part of this perfectionism-busting book was that Domar tailored virtually every scenario to female readers. I think this is a fine book that doesn't have to be so gender-specific, even though her field experience has clearly focused on counseling women. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
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. Here, health psychologist Dr. Domar shows you how to break free from the perfectionist trap, with 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; and get rid of unrealistic and damaging expectations.--From publisher description.
