You're Perfect Just as You Are, and You Could Use a Little Improvement, End Quote

The book is rooted in self love or our inability to love ourselves. You quote the Japanese Zen teacher Suzuki Roshi who says all of you are perfect just as you are, and you could use a little improvement. It's this encompassing understanding that we are who we are because of causes and conditions. And so the needing a little improvement is just an acknowledgement of what's true.
