369: World leading expert on perfectionism, Thomas Curran — The Perfection Trap: Embracing the Power of Good Enough

Welcome to Strategy Skills episode 369, an interview with the author of The Perfection Trap: Embracing the Power of Good Enough, Thomas Curran. In his book, Thomas calls for both introspection and broader, societal change. He shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect, and in so doing, win for ourselves a more purposeful and contented life.

Thomas Curran is a professor of psychology at the London School of Economics and the author of a landmark study that the BBC hailed as "the first to compare perfectionism across generations." His TED talk on perfectionism has received more than three million views. His research has been featured in media ranging from the Harvard Business Review to New Scientist to CNN and he has appeared on numerous television and radio programs.
