About Dr Thomas Curran

Psychology professor specialising in perfectionism
Author of international bestseller The Perfection Trap
TED speaker with over three million views
Dr Thomas Curran is a psychology professor at the London School of Economics who specialises in perfectionism research, offering practical strategies to combat its negative effects on wellbeing and workplace productivity.

Tom has shared his insights through a TED Talk viewed over three million times. His work has featured in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and TIME, making him a leading voice on perfectionism. He is also the author of the international bestseller The Perfection Trap.

Through his work, Tom helps organisations identify how perfectionism undermines performance using evidence-based approaches. He demonstrates how unrealistic standards contribute to employee burnout, reduced innovation, and decreased productivity. To combat this, he provides practical frameworks for fostering healthier achievement cultures that balance excellence with wellbeing.

Audiences leave Tom's presentations with tools to recognise perfectionist tendencies in themselves and their teams, practical techniques for setting realistic standards that encourage growth rather than paralysis, and strategies to create workplace environments where creativity and sustainable success can flourish.
