How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists by Ellen Hendriksen
5.0
Author and Narrator Ellen Hendriksen knocks it out of the park with her newest book, How To Be Enough. As a Type A Perfectionist with a very critical inner voice there are a lot of tips and tricks I plan to take from this book, but moreso what I found to be the most engaging was the way Ellen Hendriksen presented the information. Using a combination of step by step plans, her own experiences, data and stories from her patients, Ellen Hendriksen weaves the information in easy to understand chunks and the book is designed so that you're formulating plans and making small changes along the way.
I especially enjoyed her section about procrastination. Often deemed a time management issue, research actually shows it has more to do with an emotional barrier because the tasks seems too hard or involved. This is information not only useful to me but also my daughters. Speaking of daughters, I appreciated how in depth Ellen Hendriksen went into explaining how our inner voices often mirror our upbringing. Under the guise of wanting to help, we are often unintentionally creating distrust in those around us and hurting those we love most. That really resonated with me.
