When Perfect Is Not Good Enough: Strategies for Coping with Perfectionism is a cognitive-behavioral self-help book by psychologist Martin M. Antony, commonly published with psychiatrist Richard P. Swinson in major editions. The book addresses perfectionism not as a harmless preference for excellence, but as a pattern of rigid standards, fear of mistakes, overchecking, avoidance, and self-criticism that can contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and reduced functioning. Its purpose is practical rather than inspirational: it helps readers identify how perfectionistic beliefs operate, test whether those beliefs are accurate or useful, and gradually change behaviors that keep distress alive. The book is structured like a guided workbook, combining explanation with exercises, self-monitoring tasks, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. It is best understood as an evidence-based manual for readers who want a structured way to reduce the costs of perfectionism while preserving realistic goals, competence, and responsibility.
