- Escaping Perfectionism
- Description
- <p>Perfectionism is everyone’s favorite flaw. It’s easy to assume that our push to be perfect is what leads to academic, athletic, and professional success. But how do we distinguish between high standards and unrealistic expectations? This week, we bring you a favorite conversation with psychologist <a href="https://www.lse.ac.uk/pbs/people/Dr-Thomas-Curran">Thomas Curran</a>. He says perfectionism has a dark side, and that there are much healthier ways to strive for excellence. Then, we bring you the latest edition of our segment "Your Questions Answered." Sociologist <a href="https://www.allisonpugh.com/">Allison Pugh</a> returns to the show to respond to listener questions about connective labor — the work of seeing another person, and having that person feel seen.</p><p><i>The Hidden Brain tour continues this fall!
