Over the past 2 years, I have read 10 books on personal progress.

And while I enjoyed many of those books, and learned a lot, there is only 1 book I can say truly had a life-changing impact on me:

The Perfection Trap by Thomas Curran.

Some of my biggest takeaways:

• Perfectionism often masks fear of failure and judgement.

• Because of these fears, perfectionism often leads to procrastination.

• Procrastination from being a perfectionist fuels anxiety and gets you stuck.

• Perfectionism is not an individual problem only, it's a societal one.

• Social media fosters perfectionistic tendencies; be careful.
  

(Of course, the book goes into detail on all of this. But these are my high-level takeaways.)

So, if you are at all interested in letting go of perfectionism to progress in your life, I highly suggest keeping a copy of The Perfection Trap on your desk.
