Yuxin Sun, a psychologist in Seattle, sees many clients in her associate practice who insist they are not perfectionists. “'Oh, I'm not perfect. I'm far from perfect,'” they tell her.But perfectionism isn't about being the best at a certain goal, Dr. Sun said, "it's the feeling of never getting to that point, of never feeling good enough, of never feeling adequate." And this can create a harsh inner voice that belittles and chastises us.Perfectionism is so pervasive that there is a test to measure it: the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. When researchers examined how college students responded to the scale's questions over time, they found that rates of perfectionism have increased in recent decades, skyrocketing between 2006 and 2022.Thomas Curran, an ...

Arthur Mensch, tall and thin with a mop of unkempt hair, arrived for a talk last month at a sprawling Paris technology center wearing jeans and carrying a bicycle helmet. He looked unassuming, as someone European officials are counting on to push the region into a high-stakes game with the United States and China over artificial intelligence.Mensch, 31, is the CEO and founder of Mistral, considered by many to be one of the most promising challengers to OpenAI and Google. “You have become the symbol of artificial intelligence in France,” Matt Clifford, a British investor, told him on stage.Much depends on Mr. Mensch, whose company shot to prominence just a year after he founded it in Paris with two college friends. As Europe races to gain a foothold in the AI ​​revolution, the French gov...

American analysts and intelligence officials said Friday they expect Iran to strike several targets inside Israel in the coming days in retaliation for an Israeli bombing in the Syrian capital on April 1 that killed several senior Iranian commanders.The United States, Israel's main ally, has military forces in several locations in the Middle East. But Iran is not expected to target them to avoid direct conflict with the United States, according to U.S. and Iranian officials who spoke anonymously about the expected strikes, which they were not authorized to discuss publicly.Any Iranian attack inside Israel would represent a turning point in the decades of hostility between the two nations and would most likely open a new, volatile chapter in the region. Israel and Iran maintain no dir...

Officials at Bayer Leverkusen, the long-established but usually middleweight German soccer team, have been issuing the messages since at least February. Some were delivered in person, a silent blessing after yet another victory. Others came via WhatsApp, unsolicited and unexpected messages from colleagues and acquaintances and, to their occasional surprise, from traditional enemies.Football, after all, is fiercely tribal. Rivals do not easily exchange encouragement or congratulations. But as the German league season picked up pace, many wanted to praise Leverkusen's impending achievement: with each victory, they moved ever closer to being crowned national champions for the first time.And that meant – just as importantly – that Bayern Munich were not.Leverkusen will cross the finish...
