'The Poison of Perfection is a totally inspiring and encouraging read. Are you unhappy because everything isn't perfect? Then you need to read this powerful mindset guide to find contentment and peace as you move toward excellence instead of perfection. Angela Wadley obviously cares about people, her desire to see people achieve fulfillment comes through all the pages of this revitalizing, self-help, personal growth and development book. The Poison of Perfection is a motivational book that empowers you by giving you strategies for self-improvement. I have a feeling it is going to change my life forever! Very highly recommended.' Chick Lit Café

'Angela Wadley couldn't have said it clearer and more explicit on what a perfection mentality can destroy. The Poison of Perfection labels all aspects in an individual's life including career, relationships, lifestyle, and spiritual matters. This book dives deep and makes you love yourself just the way you are. She also gives us insights and tips to apply to our everyday life to reach that better and better pattern, we should strive for excellence not perfection because what is there after perfection?' OnlineBookClub Review

'Reading this book has opened my eyes to the basic expectations that destroy me instead of aiding in growth. In light of this, I have noted things I need to change as an individual. I feel this book speaks to every individual doubting their potential and lacking confidence. It goes beyond confidence into self-discovery. I recommend this book to people who want to improve their lives and be genuinely happy.' OnlineBookClub Review

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and practical
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
This is an insightful and engaging read for anyone looking to break free from the unattainable standards of perfection. With its practical advice and the inclusion of a custom journal, it offers a unique and interactive experience. The book's focus on embracing excellence over perfection across various life domains is both relevant and empowering. I'd recommend it to anyone seeking to improve their personal and professional life. It's not a deep dive type of book, but it's nice bite size advice covering all the key areas of life. On my version the table of content, seems to go a little funky in the display, but the rest of the book looks and reads great!

If you really want to be honest with yourself and look at why you are never satisfied with yourself, this is a good book. It is a compact but filled with honest reasons why we are the way we are and how to basically get over ourselves before we miss out on life. Good Advice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend it to all those who pursue the illusion of perfection
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2023
I have never been one to pursue perfection, as I am aware it's a mere illusion and often acts as a shield for some fears, but the author has abundantly shed light on its dangers and negative sides. As a coach mysef, I love it when deep topics are presented to the general public in such an informative, easy-to-read and relatable way. I have no doubt that reading this book can impact people and help them live a more authentic and happier life. Well done to the author and thanks for spreading her knowledge so generously.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book for perfectionists
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2023
If you are a perfectionist in any part of your life - fitness, career, parenting, etc. - this book is for you. The author has some excellent tips for not letting the perfect get in the way of the good. Her tone is encouraging but also authoritative. A gentle kick in the pants, if you will, for those who need it. This would also make a great gift for a friend who struggles with self-confidence. Recommend!
