From an early age, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color that strays outside the lines is considered to be a mistake that must be avoided. Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. Imperfectionism, however, frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.The old way to approach perfectionism was to inspire people to let go of their need for perfection and hope they could do it. The new way is to show people how simple but highly strategic "mini actions can empower them to gradually and effortlessly let go" of perfectionism. This book applies the science of behavior modification directly to the roots of perfectionism, resulting in a new and superior method for change. Imperfectionists arent so ironic as to have perfect lives: theyre just happier, healthier, and more productive at doing what matters.
