This Monk Wears Heels: Be Who You Are

”They say to really know someone you must walk a mile in their shoes. Reading Kodo’s story felt like I had popped on a pair of heels, and it was fabulous!” – Carson Kressley, Emmy award-winning TV personality and New York Times bestselling author ”This Monk Wears Heels is a generous, sincere, and moving testimonial that shows you … how to be who you are and who you want to be.” – Sandrine Jolly, Brand President Worldwide, Shu Uemura IT’S TIME TO BE TRUE TO YOU This book is for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t fit in. And for all those who dare to be different. Do you show who you truly are? Do you say what you really think? Or do you hide your heart’s desire and camouflage yourself to look like others? It is too easy to limit ourselves for fear of what other people will think. The message of this book is that we can choose to love our uniqueness―and that our diversity offers hope for the world. This Monk Wears Heels is a guide to self-love, self-acceptance, and taking a Buddhist approach to life. Kodo Nishimura reveals how inclusive the Buddhist teachings really are―and that, yes, it is possible to be a Buddhist monk and do makeup and wear sparkly earrings. This book is about being who you really are, totally unapologetically and with full conviction. It will show you how to shine in your own colors and be celebrated for yourself.
