Story
One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

Publisher's Summary
I remember when I aimed for perfect workouts: 30 minutes was the minimum.
I was in lousy shape.
I remember when I aimed for perfect dating: it couldn't be awkward, forced, or uncertain.
I didn't talk to women I was interested in.
I remember when I aimed for perfect writing: I wanted 1,000+ words of quality material per day.
I played video games instead.
I carefully avoided mistakes, endlessly ruminated about what I didn't do, and what I did do wasn't enough.
Then, I became an imperfectionist.
Everything changed. I had fun stories to tell, like the lesbian pizza incident and the most nervous "Hi" ever spoken by a human being. I learned more. I laughed more. I lived more.
I got in great shape, read more books, and improved my social skills. I wrote Mini Habits, which is being translated into a dozen languages.
I found I could mess up and still win.
Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected. Imperfectionism frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.
While the freedom of imperfectionism is impactful, it does not preclude us from having problems. Imperfectionists aren't so ironic as to have perfect lives, they're just happier, healthier, and more productive at doing what matters.

An Imperfect Headline
I really enjoyed this book. This book provided a simple answer to something as complicated as the topic of perfectionism is. It provided examples of both a perfectionist and a Imperfectionist which helped in the understanding of the material. I haven’t read his first book but I thought it was still a good read regardless. I would definitely recommended.

Changing my life
As someone with adhd who has been suicidal for close to a decade, this book made me feel so seen. I've struggled with education, my passions and all aspects of my life feeling inadequate. My parents and loved ones always told me I was being too hard on myself but this book really made me get it. I'm trying g to be kinder to myself and already seeing a cognitive difference for me. Thank you for creating this book Mr Stephen. I look forward to the rest if my life because of this book.

Opened my eyes to perfectionism
I found myself nodding my head along with this book a lot. I already knew I was a perfectionist but it gave me so much more information on why and what to do with it. I feel like I have actionable strategies to help unwind my perfectionism from my personality.

A few gold nuggets
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't what I was looking for but still found it a pleasure to listen to and I took away a few great ideas to improve my life. The audio was fine except sometimes the narrator got very quiet and I couldn't hear him well. A consistent volume would have improved the experience.
