There Is Nothing Wrong with You: Going Beyond Self-Hate by Cheri Huber is a book that I highly recommend. This wonderful read is completely dedicated to revealing the origin of self-hate, the forms it takes, how it works, how to identify it, and how to free yourself from it. The book explores how self-hate demonstrates itself through taking blame, and not credit, holding grudges and constantly reaching for perfection, and how it influences the development of addictions. In addition, the book guides one through meditation practices that help free oneself from self-hate and cultivate self-love.
