07 Oct Can we really pursue perfection?

Many of us strive for perfection in our work life, with often unrealistically high standards and goals we set for ourselves and the highly critical voice in our heads that gives us a hard time when we’re not perfect. So how can we manage perfectionism at work and is there such a thing as healthy perfectionism? In this episode of Fast Track I speak to best-selling author, teacher of the most popular class at Harvard University on Positive Psychology and happiness and a PHD in organisational behaviour, Tal Ben-Shahar to learn why we’re so drawn to pursuing perfection, whether perfectionism can be a strength rather than an obstacle and why he encourages his students to fail.
