Perfectionism: The hidden epidemic?

York Wellbeing Lecture

In this talk we will explore how the pressure to be perfect – in our social media feeds, in relationships, and at university and work – is driving a rise in mental ill-health. We’ll learn more about what perfectionism is (and what it isn’t), the causes of rising perfection, and how we can personally and collectively create a culture that promotes growth over perfection, and compassion over criticism.
