Show notes

Dr. Frans B. M. de Waal is a Dutch/American biologist and primatologist known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics (1982) compared the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians. Ever since, de Waal has drawn parallels between primate and human behavior, from peacemaking and morality to culture. His scientific work has been published in hundreds of technical articles in journals such as Science, Nature, Scientific American, and outlets specialized in animal behavior. His popular books — translated into twenty languages — have made him one of the world's most visible primatologists. His books are The Age of Empathy (2009), and The Bonobo and the Atheist (2013). Mama's Last Hug. His latest book is Different: What Apes Can Teach Us About Gender

Katherine Morgan Schafler Unboxing | The Perfectionists Guide To Losing Control Jan 15, 2023

Show notes

Katherine Morgan Schafler is a psychotherapist, writer and speaker, and former on-site therapist at Google. She earned degrees and trained at UC Berkeley and Columbia University, with post-graduate certification from the Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy in NYC.

We’ve been looking at perfectionism all wrong. As a former on-site therapist at Google, Schafler argues that you don’t have to stop being a perfectionist to be healthy and can find ways to make your perfectionist tendencies work for you rather than against you. Full of stories and brimming with humor, empathy, and depth, THE PERFECTIONIST’S GUIDE TO LOSING CONTROL is a love letter to the ambitious, high achieving, full-of-life clients who filled the author’s private practice, and who changed her life.
