Each of us carries unloved characteristics that we would prefer to get rid of. But they can be transformed and can provide us with valuable services once they have found their place. Lienhard Valentin shows us how to lovingly tend our inner garden and cultivate it so that self-confidence, self-love and serenity can blossom. The most important tools here are the practice of mindfulness, self-compassion and self-exploration. Reflections, quotes, meditations and mindfulness exercises support us in this process and give us new strength and inspiration.
