The Power of Imperfection. Why We Need to Make Mistakes in Times When the World Demands to Become the Ideal Version of Ourselves

New

How to understand that you are in a healthy relationship with yourself? Is it easy for you to praise yourself and others when appropriate, accept compliments, express your opinion even when you are scared, allow yourself to be disappointed, to... fail, to ask for help?

Some teach us to be gentle with ourselves, while others say that striving for the impossible and being your ideal version is the best gift for yourself. Christophe André, a psychologist and psychiatrist, believes that being a friend to yourself is much more important than pitying or improving yourself.

You will learn:
- how to learn to calmly relate to mistakes and refusals;
- who benefits from you endlessly improving yourself — surely not you;
- why high self-esteem can be fragile;
- in what proportion to combine demands and care for yourself and others,
- how to allow yourself not to know, to ask for help, and to change your opinion.
