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.

'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' Susan Cain, author of Quiet

'Haemin writes beautifully and simply... these vital life lessons resonate deeply and easily' Miranda Hart

'Heartwarming, calming and simple. But also filled with wisdom and powerful truths that will teach us to love ourselves first in order to transform our relationships with our loved ones' Hector Garcia, author of IKIGAI

Haemin Sunim is a globally respected Buddhist teacher and author from South Korea.

His work speaks to everyday challenges with warmth, simplicity, and depth. His books have sold over six million copies worldwide and have been translated into more than thirty-eight languages. In the Netherlands, one of his books set a national record as the longest running nonfiction bestseller and in South Korea it became the bestselling book of the decade. His work has been featured by The New York Times, The Guardian, NPR, and the BBC. Haemin received Zen monastic training in South Korea and studied religion at the University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University, and Princeton University, where he earned his doctorate.

He is regularly invited to give talks internationally and to lead meditation retreats across North America, Europe, and Asia.
