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.

Who is your Future Self? That question is the answer to all your life's questions. When you know who you want to be then you know what you're going to do today. That answer directly impacts how motivated you are, and how you feel about yourself. It's the answer to whether you'll distract yourself on social media for hours, whether you'll eat junk food and what time you get up in the morning. Renowned psychologist Dr Benjamin Hardy will show you how to allow your imagined Future Self to be the driver of your current reality so that you can change in unbelievable ways.

Written by: Gary S Goodman
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.

A little repetitive but drives the point home.
A different take on motivation. This helped me feel not only inspired, but that I can actually maintain the progress I want to make. A little repetitive but sometimes we need a consistent outside prospective to understand what we do to ourselves in our own heads.

A lesson in changing one's perspective
It wasn't the easiest listen for someone new to self-help. Mostly because I was listening to it in the background at work, but Stephen has a great perspective and there is much content that everyone could benefit from hearing.

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.

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.

I will never be able to look at Lisa Simpson the same way again after reading this book! It is very helpful if you want to feel better about not having every task go the way you want/expect it to go and how you can work on changing those thought about it having to be just so
