"Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people,\\u201d writes author Anne Lamott in her beautiful book, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. Whether\\xa0you struggle with perfectionism in general, or in just one or two areas of your life, you know how draining and torturous it can be. Are there ways to overcome the tyranny of\\xa0perfectionism? Is it possible to quiet or tame the negative self-commentary of our inner critic? How can we stop harshly judging ourselves and others, awaken self-compassion, and\\xa0find peace in our "perfectly imperfect world?"

No one\'s more qualified to discuss the perils and perks of being a perfectionist quite like a mature Enneagram One, a.k.a. The Perfectionist. On today\\u2019s episode, my dear friend and\\xa0wise Enneagram One Dr. Lee Camp shares how everything changes for the better when we live by the wise motto \\u201cprogress, not perfection."
