About this audiobook
A habit can be improved. So can a schedule, skill, relationship, body, home, career, and emotional response. Soon, nearly every part of existence becomes another project requiring analysis and correction. The Myth of Constant Improvement examines how personal development can become permanent dissatisfaction, the belief that accepting anything as sufficiently good would mean giving up. William R.

You will learn to identify one area that genuinely needs work and another that no longer requires continual scrutiny. This is not an argument for ignoring harmful patterns or refusing necessary change. It is permission to stop treating your entire existence as evidence of unfinished work.
