Dapat dilihat dari kedelapan sub-bab tersebut, Haemin Sunim membagi secara bertahap dan fokus menjabarkan tiap-tiap fase dalam proses mencintai.The Buddha, somewhat rebelliously, declared that, instead of a god or guru, the starting point of our path to awakening is our very own imperfections.

you won’t be happy if you’re always striving for more or better. Happiness comes when our hearts are peaceful and content, and when we learn to appreciate what we already have.” We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” Those words from French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin have always resonated with me, ever since I first heard Talib Kweli paraphrase them in a Reflection Eternal song called "2000 Seasons" in 1997. Rather than chasing the spiritual, I found the words to be a call for raising our humanity—to understand it as the precious gift that it is, a reminder to remain present and attuned to the life we have, to the life all around us. Novel karya Haemin Sunim ini juga dilengkapi dengan lebih dari tiga puluh lima ilustrasi menarik yang mendukung cerita yang tertulis. Hal ini menjadikan visual novel ini tidak membosankan untuk disimak.Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet: "The world could surely use a little more love, a little more compassion, and a little more wisdom. In Love for Imperfect Things, Haemin Sunim shows us how to cultivate all three, and to find beauty in the most imperfect of things--including your very own self." Haemin Sunim’s Love for Imperfect Things is a great salve for the struggle. It is a reminder that we are more than the jobs we hold, the grades we get, and the roles we play. A Zen Buddhist teacher from Seoul, Sunim’s writing helps us give ourselves some space to stop becoming—and to just be. When things go wrong, when we are hurt, when we fail, we tend to want to lean in and fix things. As the world speeds up, we run frantically trying to catch up—to the news, to the pace of change, to all the people we see as more successful and smarter and more savvy than we are. Saya menyukai artwork-nya, meski beberapa gambar yang menampilkan sosok perempuan berbaju minim kurang begitu berkenan di hati saya, personally. Lisk Feng adalah seniman hebat yang karyanya sudah dikenal banyak orang sehingga gambar-gambar ilustrasinya tak heran sangat bagus dan punya makna.

It took a lot of courage to finally decide to read this book. Being brave, fast, detailed, & decisive are my characters, however being calm is like jumping out of the comfort zone that I have built all this time. Berani taruhan, diantara kita, pasti pernah berkomentar seperti di atas, atau yang mirip-mirip, minimal sekali seumur hidup. One of the greatest human triumphs is to choose to make room in our hearts for both the joy and the pain, and to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.Don’t think you are lovable only when you succeed at what the world demands. You are already worthy of love.”

Thinking too much can make it difficult to act. If you just do it, then it is done. But if you give in to your thinking, your mind will get in the way, telling you “you can’t,” “you shouldn’t,” “you don’t want to.” In that case, get up early the next morning and just do the thing you’ve been putting off. If you give yourself time to start thinking about it, inaction will take hold again.” Seperti karya novel pertama Haemin, novel ini terbagi menjadi delapan sub-bab kategori berbeda. Pembagian sub-bab ini menjadikan novel ini tersusun rapi secara bertahap, yakni mulai dari pembahasan tentang diri sendiri, kemudian meluas kepada orang lain, dan tahap pemulihan, serta akhirnya penerimaan. Saya pribadi menganggap ini buku yang bagus untuk dibaca. Beberapa nasihat dan kebijaksanaannya memang klise, tapi bukan kah kita bisa memandangnya sebagai pengingat yang baik untuk hidup kita. Isi buku ini memang sederhana. Maka peruntukannya memang ketika kita membutuhkan buku self help yang ringan tapi tetap berbobot. Saya menyukai kesan hangat dan penuh kasih yang ada dalam tiap tulisannya. Beberapa tulisan singkat memang tidak begitu mengena di hati saya, kemungkinan karena situasi saya tidak berkesesuaian dengan topik yang disampaikan, tapi selalu ada yang bisa diambil dari isi buku ini. Dan karena buku ini khusus membahas tentang berbagai ''ketidaksempurnaan" hidup manusia dan perasaan-perasaan yang menyelimutinya, maka buku ini menurut saya agak segmented karena akan lakan lebih mengena untuk pembaca yang berada di di situasi yang sama.Were you one of those children who were praised for being “good”? Did you then try hard to be good by always agreeing with parents, teachers, or older relatives? Even if sometimes it was hard, you learned not to complain and bore it quietly? And now that you’re an adult, do you still feel a responsibility to please other people? Do you constantly make an effort not to disturb or be a burden on others? But when there’s someone who makes things difficult for you, you try just to ignore it or put up with it, because it is not in your nature to do or say something that can potentially hurt someone or make someone feel uncomfortable?
