{"product_id":"book-k2e2","title":"The Perfectionist's Dilemma","description":"In today's high-pressure society, we are constantly fed a fable of individualism, exceptionalism, determination, and ingenuity and taught a mythology of grin and bear it; no pain, no gain; and hard work pays off, despite the fact that the conditions for success are unpredictable and ever changing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePsychologist Tara Cousineau claims that perfectionism is a paradox: it is the tension created by the need for belonging, a desire for excellence, and a quest for a meaningful and productive life. But perfectionism can be transformed by learning to connect both head and heart, replacing inner algorithms of comparison and criticism with self-acceptance and self-compassion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Perfectionist's Dilemma\u003c\/i\u003e, Cousineau introduces an innovative six-step solution based on the acronym EVOLVE: \u003cb\u003eEmbody\u003c\/b\u003e the present moment; \u003cb\u003eValidate\u003c\/b\u003e your experience; \u003cb\u003eOpen\u003c\/b\u003e your heart; \u003cb\u003eLove\u003c\/b\u003e your inner critic; make a \u003cb\u003eVow\u003c\/b\u003e; and spark the \u003cb\u003eEnergy\u003c\/b\u003e of excellence. EVOLVE helps listeners overcome perfectionism and cultivate three essential resources—inner worth, inner humanity, and inner leadership. Through storytelling and anecdotes from recovering perfectionists who have participated in Cousineau's workshops, listeners can learn to align mind, body, heart, and spirit—to become happy achievers.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49414144393520,"sku":"BDk2e2","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49414144295216,"sku":"ZEk2e2","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49414144360752,"sku":"ZMk2e2","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/k2e2-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780564175","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-k2e2","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
