“The Psychology of Perfectionism and Everyday Life”

Professor Andy Hill, York St John University

Overview – Perfectionism is a misunderstood trait and its influence on our lives underappreciated. This talk will draw on a career spent studying perfectionism in different populations and contexts to illustrate its important consequences. This includes its influence on our work and home lives, how well we deal with setbacks, as well as our physical and mental health. Attendees will certainly learn about perfectionism and, perhaps, even, the joys of just doing things well.

7pm in the Tempest Anderson Lecture Theatre in the Yorkshire Museum on Tuesday 27 January 2026.
