It defines perfectionism as situations where preferences become "musts", "shoulds", and "oughts" and outlines common irrational beliefs held by perfectionists, such as the idea that one must succeed or is inadequate. It then provides tips for overcoming perfectionism, such as increasing awareness, making choices, building trust, stepping back to think, and proceeding with universal acceptance of oneself, others, and life in general.
