About this listen

Perfectionism plagues so many high achievers. Perfectionism is not accepting anything short of perfection.

Is perfectionism good, or is it bad?

Research by Dr. Joachim Stoeber has shown that individuals who strive for perfection on the athletic field outperform and outclass their peers…until they don't.

The problem therein lies in what happens when you don't reach perfection. It leads to the fear of failure, fear of criticism, stress, depression, and anxiety.

How do you reap the benefits and avoid the pitfalls?

Peak Performance coach Josiah Igono teaches you to leverage an ancient military strategy to overcome perfectionism and reach your full potential.
