«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 bestselling author of Quiet

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…

    “may you be a heater for someone today”

    i put this book on shelf “to read” probably a year ago, since then i’ve read several reviews and before opening it i truly expected something completely different. not that i’m disappointed, because it’s been even better.

    it came out to be like a warm blanket in the cold late night which comforts and hugs you whispering to your ears that no matter what everything will be alright. just take a sleep and you will see.

    This is the 2nd book from Haenim Sunim that I read. Just like the first book (The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down), it focuses on mindfulness and acceptance, but on different topics. Everything is written thoughtfully with easy-to-read style of writing, very therapeutic in a way which makes this book a perfect read to tone down your mind whenever you feel uneasy, anxious, or cluttered. Definitely learned a lot from this book and surely gonna put it on practice.

Quotes

  • maiihas quoted3 years ago
    Rather than choosing a life in which you do nothing

    for fear of making a mistake,

    choose a life that improves through failure and pain.

    And shout out loud to your struggling self,

    “I love you so much.”
  • winmaulidan_has quoted4 years ago
    We consider it good to be good to others, but don’t forget that you have a responsibility to be good to yourself first.
  • May Trinandahas quotedlast year
    When our mind is quiet and we look at our emotions from the outside, something unexpected happens: We sense the loving presence of our inner silence, watching those emotions with composure. If you are religious, the inner silence may feel like the presence of God or another transcendental being. We thought we were struggling alone in the world, but in the stillness we sense “the one” who is always with us, who looks at our mind with compassion.
