There is Nothing Wrong with You [J0365]

2001 PB with minor wear. A zen teacher provides advice on avoiding self-blame and learning to reach individual potential. This book reveals the origin of self-hate, how self-hate works, how to identify it, and how to go beyond it. It provides examples of some of the forms self-hate takes, including taking blame but not credit, holding grudges, and trying to be perfect, and explores the many facets of self-hate, including its role in addiction, the battering cycle, and the illusion of control. After addressing these factors, it illustrates how a meditation practice can be developed and practiced in efforts to free oneself from self-hating beliefs.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Absolutely love this book, read it a few times now and each time I see something different. Love the way it's written with fun drawings too. It's so easy to read. Mine is full of highlights."; "At first I was a bit skeptical about this book, but the more I read, the more it drew me in. By the end, I genuinely loved it."; "The writing was a bit awkward at times, but it was surprisingly fundamental and transformative -- definitely a "right thing, right time" read for me."
