Book Overview
Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet "The world could surely use a little more love, a little more compassion, and a little more wisdom. In Love for Imperfect Things, Haemin Sunim shows us how to cultivate all three, and to find beauty in the most imperfect of things--including your very own self." A #1 internationally bestselling book of spiritual wisdom about learning to love ourselves, with all our imperfections, by the Buddhist author of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down Hearing the words "be good to yourself first, then to others" was like being struck by lightning. Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inward and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at the office, at school, or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world around us. In this beautiful follow-up to his international bestseller The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, Zen Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom to the art of self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself--and the flaws that make you who you are--can you have compassionate and fulfilling relationships with your partner, your family, and your friends. With more than thirty-five full-color illustrations, Love for Imperfect Things will appeal to both your eyes and your heart, and help you learn to love yourself, your life, and everyone in it. When you care for yourself first, the world begins to find you worthy of care.

This book is like a warm hug
Published by Vee , 1 month ago
The title leads one to think this is a self help book, but it's more like a series of anecdotes followed by advice given in verse form. The lovely thing about this book is how clear Haemin Sunim's completely earnest desire for you to be happy is. Some of the advice verses are run of the mill advice and some aren't. A verse I think about a lot is "When someone does something to distress you for no apparent reason, or behaves completely unreasonably, for your own sake, repeat to yourself: “Big world, some weirdos!“" It's funny but it also drives home a comforting point which is that people like that are not the norm. Overall a good book. I gifted the first copy I bought to my mother but I'm going to buy myself another I think
