Behind many of our problems lies an often ignored factor: we don' t like ourselves very much. We are sufferers of self-hatred. We tell ourselves the meanest things. It' s because of self-hatred that we tend to neglect our potential at work and get entangled in unfulfilling relationships, that we lack confidence in our social lives and suffer from anxiety and despair. This is a book that, with immense compassion and fellow feeling, investigates the phenomenon of self-hatred while giving pragmatic advice on how to overcome it. It asks where the feeling comes from, what it makes us do and how we might become kinder and more compassionate towards ourselves. We have probably spent far too much of our lives disliking ourselves and attacking everything we say, do or feel, while not even realising what we' re up to. It' s time to overcome our masochism and move towards a more self-forgiving and accepting stance. The School of Life: On Self Hatred is a guide to the more compassionate and gentle relationship we should have had with ourselves from the start, and can all achieve now.
' A beautiful, wise and truly helpful guide to what goes wrong when we turn on ourselves. ' - Will Storr, author of Selfie ' The School of Life: On Self Hatred reveals the subtle poison of self-hatred that permeates our psyches and points us towards principles and pathways of self-liberation. I highly recommend this book!' - NetGalley review ' The School of Life has once again provided a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human. This exploration of "gentle sorrow" goes directly to the heart of what is often dismissed, ignored, or diagnosed as disorder and suggests a different view that embraces melancholy and the gifts it brings. I particularly enjoyed the art accompanying each of the explorations and the direct exploration of common experiences such as Sunday evening melancholy, gardening, and parties. ' - NetGalley review ' Excellently written and presented, I will recommend this book to [those] I see struggling and may benefit from it. ' -NetGalley review
