Ditch Perfect: A Guide to Embracing Wins and Boosting Your Happiness[Repeat]

Why top performers embrace imperfection and celebrate victories.

We dig into the show archives to uncover the timeless topic of perfectionism.

Hedonic adaption is a major reason we aren't as happy as we should be and relentlessly pursue the next thing without taking time to even reflect on the happiness we are seeking.

Lessons from the episode:

Balancing perfect with good enough

When our work is better than we think it is

Why we aren't as happy as we deserve

The importance Recognising achievements

Building more sustainable happiness


When we ask ourselves why are we unhappy we often seek more things to solve our problems and jump onto the next things as quickly as possible. However, a big part of our unhappiness is this exact habit to relentlessly move on that we can't even experience joy when we do achieve something.

This episode will help ground you in reality.
