Although there’s some far fetched comments in this video, I actually enjoyed the bite size content. Reminded me of the videos by Alain De Botton for The School of Life. PBS should do more of these

Before taking it seriously we probably need some way of measuring how much perfectionist we are, moderate or extreme. I believe that we need some perfectionism in our lives.
Well, perfectionism could be defined very simply and bluntly as the endless pursue of perfection. Being perfection unattainable, then it becomes the endlesss pursue of an unattainable characteristic thus becoming an illness that could be damaging to a person's mind and wellbeing. This pursue of perfection could be, as the video states, a competitive trait caused by the societal state. If I am perfect then I am better than the others and I will have more oportunities.
