{"product_id":"9780986277450","title":"The Wisdom of Self-Love: Life is a School. I am my Major.","description":"My parents didn't teach me to love myself. They assumed I'd find someone else to do that for me. I wasn't introduced to the concept of self-love until I was out in the world and on my own. If life is a school of self-love, then my parents were certainly my first tutors, and for that I'm grateful. But it took discussions with other classmates before I came to the conclusion that I needed to make me my major in life. And even once I was consciously in school studying self-love, I still had to move my seat away from the bozos at the back of the room to get focused on what I was really doing here.\u003cp\u003eI was raised to believe that \"pride cometh before the fall\" and that simply isn't true; ignorance does. All the spills I've taken occurred when I ignored me, not when I was proud of myself. That's what caused me to be impatient with others, and what eventually brought on my disappointment with love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce I could see that the Teacher was teaching me to love the most difficult person in the whole world to love, I found I did much better in the lessons of life He was bringing me. I changed my attitude about life's spot quizzes and even felt better prepared for the final exam. When I finally achieved my Ph.D. in me, I could tell I was going to graduate this school with honors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strawbarrytree Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023347204336,"sku":"9780986277450","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780986277450_p0.jpg?v=1763888437","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780986277450","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
