They're successful at work and in their personal lives, but this comes at a significant emotional, mental, and sometimes physical toll. They want an escape, they want permission to stop, slow down, or have things be somewhat easier, but they're scared to make change because they're not sure what that looks like or the implication on their careers, relationships, and personal identity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Who am I outside of my accomplishments\"?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Who am I outside of being someone who does things for other people?\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Who am I if I'm not always working or doing something?\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book will provide the social and cultural context for how these tendencies towards perfectionism emerge.
