“This book is a total reframe of ‘perfectionism,’ what it is, and how we reconcile it. Rather than seeing it as a character defect or flaw, Katherine Morgan Schafler encourages readers to redirect their hunger for high performance into forms that are meaningful, rather than trying to compensate by over-controlling the small stuff, and driving oneself mad in the process. It’s an empowering book, and one of my favourite reads as of late.”

“This is one of the most compelling books I’ve read lately, a true masterwork. Rachel Aviv essentially asks us to consider how the stories we tell ourselves about mental health, or disorder, end up shaping the course of our lives and our recovery. She challenges the way we talk, and think, about illness, and reframes our understanding of the resilience of our minds.”

“Rather than thinking of rest as something that you do only when you’re depleted and in need of reprieve, Ashley Neese helps us reposition rest as an element of a life most wholly and fully lived.”

“I truly talk about this book too much, but I can’t suggest it strongly enough. In it, Gay talks about your ‘upper limit,’ or your unconscious tolerance for things going well or feeling good. I also referenced this in my own book, The Mountain Is You.” 

“In this book, Thomas Gilovich and Lee Ross explain that wisdom differs from intelligence in the sense that it requires an insight into humankind, and no matter what arena of life or work you happen to be in, having a fundamental understanding of what moves, scares, and influences people is a requirement for finding your own greatness, and excelling in life.”
