Recipe for Happiness: Accept Yourself Three Times a Day

To accept and love yourself "as you are" is an unattainable goal for many. We are constantly told from all sides that we must become better, rid ourselves of flaws, or at least hide them. We constantly criticize ourselves, feel ashamed of something, and cannot find inner harmony.

In this book, Ekaterina Sigitova, a psychotherapist with an incurable skin disease—ichthyosis—uses examples from her own life and the stories of others to explain how to find a point of support and learn to love oneself with all one’s features and problems.

Exercises and tasks from the book will help you see yourself in a new light and get closer to acceptance, regardless of how far you are from it now and what exactly is holding you back.
