Summary: It's a winner and it's PERFECT!! (couldn't resist!)
Comment: This book is one of the best books i have read and I am not sure if i can tell you all the benefits I received from it. First, it helped me understand different types of people. This woman should be a Teacher and maybe she is! This book also helped me with moving forward after a JOB LOSS, something many of us have had to deal with. Third, it gives a complete review of a life long progress in a person's life. The capacity to change and improve; still knowing one still has faults, living with it, but moving ahead. It would be a SIN not to read!

Summary: Some useful insights for perfectionists
Comment: The author of this book has been through a long journey toward learning to deal with her perfectionism. Her book contains her personal story, her insights into perfectionism and how to deal with it, stories of her perfectionist clients, and references to inner guidance. Of all the content in this book, I found her delineation of the nine types of perfectionism most helpful. However, the book feels more like a series of ruminations rather than a well-developed program toward recognizing and overcoming one's perfectionism. While the content is useful and insightful, it is not well-organized, which makes it difficult to read and apply. Expect to read parts of this book several times to really understand how it might apply to your life.

Summary: The Perfect Book for Perfectionists
Comment: Even if you are not a perfectionist, you need to read this book because you know someone who is and she or he needs your love and understanding.

If you think you might be a perfectionist but are not sure, you need to read this book because it will clarify and delineate just what perfectionism can do or undo.

But if you are a perfectionist, read this book twice, and then again. Curnan's easy prose style and her insight into the nature of the problem of perfectionism makes this a handy, practical guide for thousands (or at least, for you). She identifies nine different types of perfectionists; types that overlap on each other, but all have common roots in the drive for power and control (and the helplessness of lack of control in the flipside). She offers practical advice and wisdom in working through and out of perfectionism.
