Exploring Perfectionism: Cultural Dimensions and Human Imperfection

When did ''good enough'' become the same as ''perfect''? Why does society increasingly promote ideals that are hard to achieve? And what does perfectionism mean?

Thomas Curran is a Professor at the London School of Economics. He is the world-leading expert on perfectionism. In 2023 he published his debut book, ‘The Perfection Trap.’ We will discuss his interesting book and much more!

The production team on this episode were PLAN-B’s Nikolai Ovenberg and Niklas Figenschau Johansen. Background research was done by Sigurd Brekke.
