What's You Learn?
Perfectionism is power when you adapt to it rather than fight it – The Perfectionist's Guide by Katherine Morgan Schafler transforms your highest standards into sustainable excellence.

This comprehensive perfectionism summary and key insights reveal:

  • Five Types - Identify whether you're Classic, Parisian, Procrastinator, Messy, or Intense
  • Adaptive vs Maladaptive - Channel perfectionism productively instead of destructively
  • Power vs Control - Seek authentic influence rather than superficial management
  • Excellence with Self-Compassion - Maintain standards while accepting human limitations


The hidden gem: Schafler's "perfectionism spectrum" shows it's not about lowering standards but changing approach.

Your Click.Apply.Grow™ path: Identify your type today. Set process goals over outcome goals. Practice self-compassion daily. Perfectionists using adaptive strategies report 65% less burnout while achieving more.

Perfect your process, not yourself.
