The Perfectionist’s Guide: How to Stop Trying to Control Everything (Ukrainian Посібник перфекціоністки. Як припинити все контролювати) is a compassionate and empowering self-help book by psychotherapist Katherine Morgan Shafler. Drawing on years of clinical practice, Shafler explores the deeper dynamics of perfectionism—not merely as a flaw, but a layered trait with both strengths and pitfalls. She identifies five types of perfectionists, analyzes the gendered biases toward “acceptable” striving, and offers concrete tools to transform rigid control into authentic self-expression. Through warm, honest stories and practical exercises, the book helps readers reclaim freedom from inner judgment, embrace imperfection, and lead more relaxed, purposeful lives. The Ukrainian hardcover edition is 328 pages.
