Beschreibung
Why is there still so much talk today about record numbers of people suffering from burnout syndrome and depression? According to Thomas Curran, it is due to societal pressure to want more - to be perfect. Among the causes of the current state, he cites increasing competitiveness in the workplace, ubiquitous comparisons with others on social media, the relentless pursuit of elite education and employment, or parents who want 'only the best' for their children, regardless of their own preferences. Curran, in his book, uses the latest scientific data to demonstrate that the growing desire for perfection, combined with constant pressure to show growth, has given rise to a broad layer of utterly dissatisfied people lacking self-confidence. However, he shows us that there is a way out and suggests what we can do to resist this pressure of modern society for perfection and thus achieve a fulfilled life.
