Publisher's Summary
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 as smarter, funnier, richer or thinner and how much happier we would then be.
Love for Imperfect Things, by the best-selling 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, Love for Imperfect Things is a much-needed guide for learning to love ourselves - imperfections and all.

a bit patronizing
It's a good manual to be a good adult. However, a bit patronizing and the analogies or examples are quite cliched. Some part is also quite black and white. It might just be me who is lost but there's a lot of grey zones that this book ignores.
