When J. Ernest Davey died on 17 December 1960, leading figures said they had lost the most brilliant theologian Irish Presbyterianism had ever produced.

Americans are wealthier, smarter, and more beautiful than ever before, but we are also more depressed, anxious, and lonely. How can this be? The answer for many of us is perfectionism. Perfectionists pursue flawlessness and often reach great heights as a result, but we ultimately fall frustratingly short of our ideal.
