Love for Imperfect Things : How to Accept Yourself in a World Striving for Perfection

"Just as we are advised on airplanes to first put on our own oxygen mask before we help others, we must first be at peace with ourselve before we can be at peace with the world around us. In Love for Imperfect Things, 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. Pairing compassionate insights with beautiful 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."--Publisher's description.
