A few years ago I heard Dr. Brene' Brown At the AACD meeting in Seattle. Her book Daring Greatly is about the paradoxes of courage, and how to be strong we have to embrace our vulnerability. This can be so difficult for dentists who seem to carry a similar personality trait of striving for perfect. Perfectionism can be a key to success, but it can also be our downfall, Often it gets int he way of trying new things and moving in new directions, since we are fearful of not doing the new thing to the same "perfect" level that we can do what we already know.
