From the author of the phenomenal multi-million copy bestseller 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 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.

Very nicely put.

The books is amazing. The story, the quotes and the illustrations is excellent. I loved some of the illustrations because I deeply connected to it. Overall, the books give a good hindisight that our idea of perfect would only jeopardize our sanity.

Worth your money!

I love the positive and all-inclusive approach to the topic. It gives me so much peace and comprehension. When we love someone, the greatest gift we can give is to be fully present for them.
