Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inwards and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at work, at school or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world around us. In this beautiful follow-up to his international bestseller ‘The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down,’ Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom and kindness to self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself – and the flaws which make you who you are – can you have compassionate and fulfilling relationships with your partner, family and friends.

**Pre-order Haemin’s new book, When Things Don’t Go Your Way, today**

A beautiful, much-needed guide for learning to love ourselves – imperfections and all – from the author of the internationally bestselling The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

No one is perfect. But that doesn’t stop us from imagining how much happier we’d be if we were smarter, funnier, richer, or thinner. But what if being yourself is enough?

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.

Just as on airplanes we’re told to put on our own mask, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can make peace with the world around us.
