Chapter by chapter you will learn Acceptance and Commitment skills to harness the power of perfectionism and high achieving behaviors while living the life you want to live. You will learn how to be yourself, keep your fears in perspective, and do meaningful things without dwelling for hours on the different ways to make things right, postponing things because they aren't ready, struggling for days with rumination, anxiety and stress, or wrestling periodically with harsh criticisms.
This book will show you how you can give your best, work hard and push yourself when you deeply care about things without sacrificing your well-being, hurting your relationships, or compromising your health. You will learn when to engage in high achieving actions in an effective, life-expansive and skillful way. You will develop a new workable relationship with all those narratives about not-being-good enough and treat yourself with kindness, compassion and caring. Most importantly, you will find that you can be yourself without losing yourself.
