In the next chapters, we will look at three profiles that lead to burnout—perfectionism, “fast-lane” living, and the superhuman syndrome. Each is linked to high performance in some way and is easy to slip into because most corporations and many families reward and encourage these behaviors. In the short term each can bring high performance, but in the long term they are burnout traps. See what you can learn about yourself as we examine them.

“Compulsive perfectionism polishes the past when bold new skills are needed to unlock the future.”

—Dag Hammarskjöid

“Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”

—Winston Churchill

“He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spend his entire life on one leg.”

—Chinese proverb

“Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.”

—Dr. David M. Burns
