About this content
Seculosity (2019) takes aim at our futile quest for perfection in every aspect of our lives. It suggests that performance-obsessed striving makes us anxious, cruel, and miserable. So why do we continue chasing this mirage? It makes a compelling argument that perfectionism fills the hole left by the decline of capital-R religion: our human need for “enoughness.”
