How to fight perfectionism (from The Happiness Lab)
Update: 2024-08-12
Description
On Fixable, we're always trying to help listeners solve problems in the best way possible, but holding yourself to impossibly high standards is the other side of the coin that can make solving any work problem miserable. We’re sharing an episode of The Happiness Lab, hosted by Dr. Laurie Santos where she hears from researcher Thomas Curran about a worrying growth in perfectionism in society, and asks "recovering perfectionist" Jordana Confino how to tackle the nagging voice in your head telling you to always psh yourself and work harder.
Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos has studied the science of happiness and found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will truly make our lives better. Each week, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness on The Happiness Lab.
We'll be back soon with more episodes from Fixable! If you want to be on Fixable, call our hotline at 234-Fixable (that's 234-349-2253) to leave Anne and Frances a voicemail with your workplace problem or email fixable@ted.com
