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

Product Information

Psychologically, pursuing perfection often stems from a desire for approval, validation, or a fear of criticism. It can lead to anxiety, stress, and feelings of inadequacy when unrealistic standards aren't met. Perfectionism can hinder personal development and be a source of unhappiness.

Love for Imperfect Things, by the bestselling Korean monk Haemin Sunim, shows how the path to happiness and peace of mind starts with letting go of worries about ourselves. With chapters on self-compassion, courage, healing, and acceptance, as well as beautiful full-colour illustrations, Sunim teaches us to embrace our flaws rather than trying to overcome them.To form the "used to do" imperfect, take off the ക (ka) from the end of the "uka" form and add മായിരുന്നു (māyirunnu) in its stead. Cara Haemin menulis sangat personal dan sederhana sehingga saya nyaris tidak mengantisipasi akan ada emosi besar di sana. Narasi Haemin untuk memahami masalah orang-orang juga pada dasarnya klise: menarik ke masa lalu, terutama masa kecil. Menyebalkannya, itu efektif untuk menarik emosi. When we do this, we’ll undoubtedly find differences in our strengths and weaknesses. Although that’s the case, we should never allow them to discourage us from improving ourselves and living happy lives.

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. 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 I’m assuming not and that’s because you know it is not real and you won’t be able to find it…so why would we continue to search for something such as perfection which clearly doesn’t exist either.You are taking away the outside stress and pressures. You’re gaining the ability to 1 focus on your goals 100% and the task at hand, without the little voice in your head telling you that you might not be good enough. What works so effectively and affectingly in Love For Imperfect Things is the structure of the chapters. Haemin Sunim is unafraid to lay bare his own imperfections so that both he and the reader can learn, advance and find peace and acceptance. Each chapter opens with a personal account of events that have happened to Haemin Sunim and his responses to them, followed by brilliant advice presented in an almost poetic form. I loved both these approaches. The note to the author’s graduate school friend brought tears to my eyes and his chapter on Listening Is An Act of Love brought me up short. I simply don’t do enough active listening to those around me.
