The Art of Tolerating Yourself
A Path to Inner Freedom
In a world that constantly demands us to change and adapt, it is a true art to embrace ourselves—complete with all our strengths and weaknesses. In his book, Michael Bordt shows us how to achieve inner freedom by learning to tolerate and accept ourselves.
A key part of this journey is understanding our own emotions. Bordt encourages readers to ask the following questions to better comprehend their feelings and engage in self-reflection:
What is my feeling about?
What person or situation has triggered this emotion? Often, it is external influences that spark deeper emotional responses.
What emotion am I experiencing?
Is it anger, frustration, envy, joy, sadness, or another emotion? Naming the emotion helps bring clarity and facilitates processing.
Why am I feeling this way?
What is at stake for me? What do I deeply value in this situation? This question often uncovers the underlying needs and values driving the emotion.
Who is this book for?
This book is for anyone who frequently struggles with self-doubt and is looking for ways to overcome it. It offers valuable insights for those seeking inner peace and greater self-acceptance. It is also for individuals with the courage to confront themselves honestly and discover their own freedom.
