Publisher's Note "You have been taught that there is something wrong with you & that you are imperfect, but there isn't, & you're not." "There Is Nothing Wrong with You", the fifth handwritten & illustrated book from Cheri Huber, outlines a compassionate process for learning to accept yourself exactly as you are. As children we were taught to believe things about ourselves that weren't true--weren't true then, aren't true now, & will never be. Through lively, often humorous, student/teacher interactions, guided meditations, & written exercises you are led to discover your own self-hating patterns & encouraged to let go of them. Although informal in style, "There is Nothing Wrong With You" reflects the profound spiritual insights of Zen meditation practice.
The popular phrase "self-improvement" assumes that there is something wrong with us. Huber takes the position that we are fine just as we are and that the finger of blame is better pointed at what we have been taught to believe about ourselves and life in general. In this book, she offers effective alternatives to our conditioned, self-hating responses and explains how to reclaim what most of us abandoned as children -- our inner selves.
