Description of Love for Imperfect Things: How to Accept Yourself in a World Striving for Perfection
Review �The struggle for self-compassion can be difficult for even the most enlightened among us. . . . As Haemin Sunim explains throughout his book, self-compassion does not mean being selfish. It�s only when we take care of ourselves, he explains, that we can care for others.� �The New York Times�A real treasure. It teaches us that compassion is at the heart of healing . . . starting with ourselves. I highly recommend this book.� �Christiane Northrup, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Women�s Bodies, Women�s Wisdom�A treasure! I don�t have to be perfect? What incredible news. This book hit me like a ton of bricks and made many anxieties melt away.� �Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation�You can be the most amazing human being in the world and everyone sees rays of light, love, and genius when they look at you, but if you yourself don�t know it, all of that external admiration doesn�t matter one bit. Haemin Sunim teaches you ways to love yourself first, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you. It makes a world of difference.� �Marc and Angel Chernoff, New York Times bestselling authors of Getting Back to Happy�Haemin Sunim is the real deal.

Zen teacher Haemin Sunim describes with great clarity the suffocating effect of perfectionism�how damaging it is to think your worth as a person is solely dependent on how you perform. Then, page by page, he shows you how to reclaim your freedom and your life.� �Mark Williams, co-author of�Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World�Heartwarming, calming and . . . filled with wisdom and powerful truths.� �H�ctor Garc�a, co-author of Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life�The Buddha, somewhat rebelliously, declared that, instead of a god or guru, the starting point of our path to awakening is our very own imperfections. I�m so happy to see Haemin Sunim giving fresh voice to practices that help us befriend ourselves, so that we can become our own best caregivers.� �Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, author of�Emotional Rescue and Rebel Buddha�Beyond all barriers of culture and religions,�Love for Imperfect Things�speaks to every human heart, because Haemin Sunim speaks from the innermost heart�the heart of compassion.���Brother�David Steindl-Rast, OSB, author of Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer�An invaluable gift for all of us . . .�Haemin Sunim has hit it out of the park again by offering sound pragmatic advice in an insightful, accessible manner. . . .�This book needs to be at every bedside so that we can all go to sleep with a smile.� �Allan Lokos, founder and guiding teacher, Community Meditation Center, NYC; author of�Through the Flames, Patience,�and�Pocket Peace�Beautifully wise insights into how we�re all perfectly imperfect.

A breezy book with generally helpful reminders, wise advice, and pithy sayings to soothe the challenges of hectic life.� �Publishers Weekly�Wisdom to apply to everyday life . . . Quick, easy lessons for developing and increasing our practice of empathy toward ourselves and others.� �Library Journal�Sunim . . . writes with an inviting and gentle voice that is akin to a warm embrace. . . . Although many self-help books preach triumphal purpose-seeking, Sunim astonishes by saying, �I don�t think life has something grand in store for me.� . . . �The book is worth repeated readings on a commuter train, at bedtime, or as part of a morning routine.� �Booklist�A treasure . . .

It can, and should, be opened regularly.� �NJ Advance Media�[A] gentle, kindhearted guide to inner peace.� �BookPage�In these snark-saturated times, it�s cheering that a voice as quietly friendly as Haemin�s can make you a mega-celebrity. . . . Haemin is especially eloquent on life�s smaller dissatisfactions, and how they can sometimes be trickier to deal with than the bigger, more dramatic ones.� �The Guardian�Brimming with brilliant spiritual advice, maxims, and wisdom.
