I indicated at the beginning of this section on Perfectionism I would provide a list of resources at the end.
Be Happy without being Perfect, by Alice B. Domar and Alice Kelly. Available at the Oshawa Library. Also available in Talking Book CDs. Primarily directed to a female audience; but the practices and tools are useful to everyone.
Pretty much anything by Gordon Flett (York University) and Paul Hewitt (University of British Columbia) will lead you to research on perfectionism. First, I like the fact that they are Canadian researchers. I wonder sometimes if we haven't taken on the American standards of productivity over quality of life.
Second, as I read through their literature available on-line, it is well-documented as to the research of others in this area, and they continue to update and modify their conclusions regarding perfectionism based on the research.
Finally, I have found the Guided Meditation CDs of Adyashanti very helpful in simply pausing and accepting everything as it is, accepting myself as I am. His CDs are available at the Oshawa Library.
