It draws on humanistic psychology, Buddhism and psychotherapy, and Christian theology, alongside concepts such as unconditional positive self-regard, unconditional self-acceptance, and self-compassion. The book also examines psychologically flexible self-acceptance and links self-acceptance to traits associated with happiness and flourishing.","Michael E.

Noone is good, only God.”(Mark 10:17,18) The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. (C.G. Jung)  \nAt 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures—be what he is. And, above all, accept these things. (Albert Camus)  \nMy definition of success is total self acceptance. We can obtain all of the material possessions we desire quite easily, however, attempting to change our deepest thoughts and learning to love ourselves is a monumental challenge. (Victor Frankl)  \nIt’snot worth our while tolet our imperfections disturb us always. (Henry David Thoreau)  \nOur healthy individuals find it possible to accept themselves and their own nature without chagrin or complaint or, for that
