I was given a free copy of this book to review on my blog, but I loved it so much that I ordered a second copy as a gift. What I like most about it is that instead of just stating the problem, it provides practical steps for solving the problem in a way that relates to who I am and what I'm willing to do.
What first caught my attention was the full-page quote, "Perfectionism isn't Christian. It's just crazy." In our Pinterest-perfect world, I feel like there are so many messages that good enough is never good enough. We have to be perfect and being perfect in our words, actions and looks somehow makes us more godly. The authors destroy that myth in a way that is both valid and relevant. Regardless of whether you're a people-pleaser, a perfectionist, a procrastinator or a performancist (is that even a word?) -- or a combination of these -- I think you'll find value in this book. It's not just words on a paper that make you think differently but also an action plan to immediately start behaving differently based on your natural personality. For me, the most powerful point in the whole book is that a wise woman says no -- Saying yes to everything doesn't make us better; it's a foolish waste of time and energy. The authors make a strong case for how saying yes to everything stops others from embracing their giftings and keeps us too busy to pursue our own.

SAME EXACT BOOK as “Cure for the Perfect Life”
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019
Having read and loved Lipp and Gregory’s book “The Cure for the Perfect Life” years ago, I was very excited to find another book by the authors that could continue to help me. I paid full price for the book, which I very rarely do, but I was so excited to have it. As I was reading, everything sounded very familiar... way too familiar. I finally found in the publishing information inside, in tiny print, that it’s the exact same book just retitled!! There was no mention on the cover, front or back, or anywhere in the Amazon information that this was the same book. I’m very frustrated to have wasted the money and time on a book I already have sitting on my shelf.
