The Consequences Of Perfectionism With Julian Reeve

Julian Reeve is a former music director of the Broadway musical Hamilton turned perfectionism contributor, speaker, and author of Captain Perfection & the Secret of Self-Compassion: A Self-Help Book for the Young Perfectionist. Julian was just 43 years old when he suffered a heart attack after conducting a performance of the Broadway musical HAMILTON in San Francisco.

Work with a psychologist would identify his maladaptive perfectionism and years of questionable lifestyle choices associated with it as the root cause. Now, after extensive research and a TEDx Talk on the subject, he empowers perfectionists to live healthier lives by adopting a growth mindset and using self-compassion to manage their perfectionistic traits. Juilian don’t endorse ‘overcoming’ perfectionism; the adaptive parts of it deliver too much to let go. Instead, he promotes a better understanding of how it affects us so we can manage it in healthier ways. Visit julianreeve.com for more information on self-compassion and other perfectionism solutions.
