Publisher's Summary

There are expectations of perfection you’ve been conditioned to believe in. You’ll never achieve this perfection, because you are perfectly human. Dr Rebecca Ray will help you understand that there is a workable alternative; somewhere between good and great, a ‘good enough’ that will support you in achieving your biggest dreams, healing the parts of you that hurt, and making the right choices for your best life.

Letting go of perfectionism requires us to transform these patterns of unrelenting expectations into an inner voice of encouragement and accountability. Alter your focus from outcome to process, from winning to trying, from comparison to what’s in alignment with your own path. Break free from the prison of perfectionism and embrace the ‘good enough’ for your self-worth, self-talk, habits, boundaries, and success.

Good, Great, Perfect will help you let go of the pressure to constantly be, have, and do more, but still achieve your goals. Dr Rebecca Ray, writer, speaker and clinical psychologist, has created a motivational and practical step-by-step guide for creating a great life by embracing good enough.

Taking comfort in making perfect the enemy of good

When I was younger I thought everything I did had to be perfect. Thankfully, over time I was able to let go of that terrible constraint. That journey would have been much easier if I had access to this audiobook.

Beck (as she calls herself) has a calm, reassuring way that makes it easy to listen to her. Four hours flew by as she explained the insidiousness of what perfectionism looks like, what it does to your self-worth, and how to be good with being good enough for yourself.

If you struggle with not being able to start something because you are overwhelmed, or get stuck while working from the anxiety of how "bad" it will be when you finish, give this a listen. It might help you to change the course of your life.

Dr Beck does it again

Want inspiration without the bullshit? Want practical self-help with a dash of poetry? Dr Rebecca Ray has done it again with yet another great audiobook for anyone wanting to be better (without being perfect). I'd love to say this is perfect, but in the spirit of Beck's message, I'll just say it's bloody great!

I love listening to Rebecca. She is an amazing psychologist and has such valuable insights into better ways to live your life.
Wonderful to hear her advice as always. So unique and relatable.

I had my doubts, I still had doubts in chapt 2, but dang this lady told me a whole bunch of things that really resonated with me. I've listened to lots of self help books, but most I think thats great and I move on, this one makes me want to listen again because I know it'll be good for me.
shes easy to listen to, her reading pace is comfortable.

A unique and helpful perspective

For someone who has struggled with not getting things done and not meeting goals / finishing projects due to perfectionism, I can highly recommend this book. Rebecca Ray has a way of explaining and describing things that makes it easy to understand and know what steps I need to take to make progress. Highly recommend and so thankful!

Love this!

Wow, I've just loved listening to this over the last 2 days. Love, Love, LOVE!

If you're looking for a new audiobook and are tired of aiming for perfect every day, then I couldn't recommend this highly enough.

Nope

Sorry mate. I’m not dumb. Don’t bash me over the head with your explanation! Especially what the title of your book is about. It’s pretty straight forward. I’m out. And stop calling me lovely one. Bloody hell. Cheers.

Helpful thought reframing

This provides a good framework and practical tips for having more constructive behaviours than those driven by perfectionism. I like the idea of “good enough” and this actually helping you achieve more than always striving for perfect.
