Love for Imperfect Things
Autor Haemin Sunim Ilustrat de Lisk Feng Traducere de Deborah Smithen Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 dec 2018
Într-o perioadă a anului în care rezoluțiile de autoperfecționare ne pot copleși, Love for Imperfect Things vine ca un răgaz necesar, amintindu-ne că acceptarea propriilor defecte este, de fapt, cea mai înaltă formă de înțelepciune. Credem că abordarea autorului Haemin Sunim este esențială pentru oricine simte presiunea constantă de a livra rezultate perfecte, fie că vorbim de carieră sau de viața de familie. Notăm cu interes modul în care autorul folosește metafora măștii de oxigen din avion: trebuie să ne îngrijim pe noi înșine mai întâi pentru a putea fi prezenți cu adevărat pentru ceilalți. Din punct de vedere stilistic, volumul păstrează simplitatea profundă și tonul cald care l-au consacrat pe Sunim. Textul este aerisit, punctat de ilustrațiile superbe ale lui Lisk Feng, care transformă lectura într-o experiență vizuală meditativă. Putem afirma că această lucrare este o continuare organică a temelor explorate în The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down. Dacă în volumul anterior accentul cădea pe încetinirea ritmului de viață, aici Haemin Sunim coboară mai adânc în psihicul uman, adresând direct sentimentele de inadecvare și nevoia de auto-compasiune. Pe aceeași linie cu A Book That Loves You, această carte celebrează imperfecțiunea, dar se diferențiază prin perspectiva spirituală est-asiatică și prin rigoarea blândă a unui învățător Zen. Spre deosebire de alte ghiduri de dezvoltare personală care propun liste lungi de sarcini, Sunim ne invită la o stare de prezență și acceptare radicală. Este o lectură care nu se grăbește, oferind cititorului spațiul necesar pentru a respira și a se împăca cu versiunea sa actuală, exact așa cum este ea.

Descriere scurtă
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 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, Zen Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom to the art of self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself--and the flaws that make you who you are--can you have compassionate and fulfilling relationships with your partner, your family, and your friends. With more than thirty-five full-color illustrations, Love for Imperfect Things will appeal to both your eyes and your heart, and help you learn to love yourself, your life, and everyone in it.
When you care for yourself first, the world begins to find you worthy of care.

Recenzii
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
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

Christiane Northrup, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
"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"
