How to Be Perfect Like Me

Dana Bowman

Description

Striving for perfection in her life, Dana Bowman has the startling realization that recovery is not only about the alcohol.
There are two types of perfectionism: healthy and unhealthy. Healthy perfectionism means people strive for and meet standards they set for themselves, valuing organization. Unhealthy perfectionism occurs when people are driven by factors such as a fear of failure and making mistakes, constant self-doubting, trying to live up to others’ expectations, and having anxiety about not meeting self-made goals. (Jeff Szymanski, PhD)

In a research study conducted by Thomas Curran, PhD, and Andrew Hill, PhD, perfectionism is closely linked with burnout, which is associated with chronic stress and manifests as extreme fatigue, perceived reduced accomplishment, and eventual detachment.

Unlike self-help titles that prescribe steps to happiness, How to Be Perfect Like Me is written with humor and laugh-out-loud sarcasm that will provide a refreshing perspective on an issue that affects everyone in society.

Dana Bowman’s first book, Bottled: A Mom's Guide to Early Recovery, published by Central Recovery Press, was chosen as a 2016 Kansas Notable Book.
