Tiny Buddha's Guide to Loving Yourself

Learn to stop self-judgment and practice self-love with these helpful stories, insights, and epiphanies from the Tiny Buddha community.

We know we need to be good to ourselves if we want to be happy. So why is it so difficult? We are simultaneously the harsh judge and the lost, scared child who wants to stop feeling judged. It becomes a vicious cycle that only stops when we step outside ourselves and observe how we got ourselves stuck. Only then can we learn to practice gratitude and positive thinking.

Featuring stories, reflections, and epiphanies selected from hundreds of TinyBuddha.com contributors, Tiny Buddha’s Guide to Loving Yourself provides an honest look at what it means to overcome critical, self-judging thoughts and create a peaceful, empowered life.
