Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet "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."

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.

Comfortable, cooling, and OEKO-TEX certified, it’s a great way to refresh any mattress.
This 3-inch mattress topper instantly upgraded my bed with a softer, cooler, and more supportive feel. The bamboo-viscose fabric is noticeably breathable, helping regulate heat throughout the night—great for hot sleepers. The 1200GSM down-alternative fill adds plush, cloud-like cushioning while still offering balanced support for the back and shoulders. It fits securely with the deep pockets and stays in place even when turning. After allowing it to fully expand, the topper fluffs up beautifully. Comfortable, cooling, and OEKO-TEX certified, it’s a great way to refresh any mattress.

Great upgrade for a rental apartment mattress
The mattress in my rental place is firm to the point where it almost feels unfinished. Instead of replacing it, I decided to try adding this topper. It made an immediate difference in the way the bed feels when I sit or lie down. There’s a nice cushioned layer that softens that “flat” feeling but still holds its shape. Another thing I noticed is how breathable it is. I expected thick padding to feel warm, but the airflow here feels better than the original mattress surface. Even after moving around, it never felt heavy or stuffy.

Soft and Comfortable Topper
I got this bamboo mattress topper for a small single bed we keep in our guest room, but I ended up testing it out myself first. The material feels soft and breathable, which is nice because that room can get a little warm in the afternoons. It adds a good amount of cushioning without making the bed too soft. After a couple of nights, my back actually felt better compared to the old mattress alone. I also appreciate that it’s machine washable, because our guest room sometimes doubles as a nap spot for my son after swim class, and spills happen. It dried pretty quickly in the dryer and kept its shape. Overall, it made the bed feel much more comfortable and fresh.

Added comfort for someone working night shifts
I work odd hours, so my sleep schedule is all over the place. My mattress has always felt a bit too stiff after long shifts, so I got this topper hoping it would help me relax faster. It really changed the overall feel of the bed. The padding has a cushioned lift that makes lying down feel smoother, especially around the shoulders and lower back. Instead of feeling like I’m dropping onto a firm surface, there’s a soft layer that evens out the pressure. What surprised me most is how light the surface feels. Even after staying in one position, it never gets stuffy or heavy. The airflow makes a difference when your body is trying to wind down after work. The fitted pocket also stays tight around the mattress, so nothing shifts when I move. I can stretch out without worrying about the topper sliding off.

Good option for softening a college apartment bed
I moved into a college apartment where the bed felt like it belonged in a dorm from years ago—flat and stiff. Instead of dealing with it, I tried this topper, and it added a cushiony layer right away. The surface feels much more forgiving when I fall onto the bed after studying or hanging out with friends. It has just enough padding to take away that board-like feeling without making the bed sag. Another thing I noticed is how breathable it is. I expected something this thick to feel warm, but it actually stays cool even if I stay on one side for a long stretch.
