Love for Imperfect Things

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. (Susan Cain New York Times best-selling author of Quiet)A number-one internationally best-selling work 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 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 best-seller 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. This audio edition of Love for Imperfect Things will appeal to both your mind 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.
