Summary

Do you struggle with perfectionism? Do you always feel that you are not achieving enough? Or doing enough? Or being enough?

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 354 of the podcast with award-winning journalist and author of the bestselling book ‘The Status Game’, Will Storr.

Will argues that as humans, we’re programmed to compare ourselves to others – and to care about how we stack up.

In this clip, we discuss why perfectionism is becoming a modern epidemic and how we can start to overcome it.
