成功并不遥远：关于自我认同的真谛We all want to do better, be better and feel better. But, according to?wellness?activist and self-described cancer thriver Kris Carr, that can only happen if you’ve first done one important thing: accept yourself.我们都希望自己可以做得更好、变得更好、感觉更好。但是，这位健康先锋，自称“癌症斗士”的克丽丝·卡尔认为，这些的前提首先要做到很重要的一点：接受自己。Self-acceptance is the foundation for living a better life, Carr says.
