Grounded in personality psychology and the Hogan Development Survey’s research on behavioral derailers.
Covers perfectionism disguised as high standards, emotional reasoning, the comparison trap, future-tripping, all-or-nothing thinking, chronic permission-seeking, and comfort zone rationalization. Each includes how to recognize it, what drives it, and a specific practice for breaking it.
