Love for Imperfect Things

How to Accept Yourself in a World Striving for Perfection

De: Haemin Sunim

Narrado por: Raymond Lee

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Love for Imperfect Things by Haemin Sunim, read by Raymond Lee.

No one is perfect. But that doesn't stop us from imagining ourselves smarter, funnier, richer, or thinner, and how much happier we would then be.

Love for Imperfect Things, by the bestselling Korean monk, Haemin Sunim, shows how the path to happiness and peace of mind includes not only strong relationships with others, but also letting go of worries about ourselves. Packed with his typical spiritual wisdom, Sunim teaches us to embrace our flaws rather than trying to overcome them, and demonstrates that love has very little to do with perfection.

With chapters on self-compassion, relationships, empathy, courage, family, healing, our true nature, and acceptance, as well as beautiful full-colour illustrations, Love for Imperfect Things is a much-needed guide for learning to love ourselves - imperfections and all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A wonderful book

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

A wonderful book . . . 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

Beautifully wise insights into how we're all perfectly imperfect. A masterclass in letting go. As soothing to my whirring 'must do better!' mind as slipping into a hot bath when I'm cold

Haemin writes beautifully and simply so these vital life lessons resonate easily and deeply

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

Heartwarming, calming and simple . . . filled with wisdom and powerful truths that will teach us to love ourselves first in order to transform our relationships with our loved ones

Felt enlightening and peace

I seldom comment but I truly recommend anyone to give it a try. A great reminder to stay mindful, purposeful and how you wish to live your life.
