What does it mean?
It is a french term for love of self. A concept developed by philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, to describe the instinctive disposition of self-preservation which human beings have in the state of nature. Acts out of amour de soi tend to be for individual well-being. They are naturally good and not malicious because amour de soi as self-love does not involve pursing one’s self-interest at the expense of others. It is related to an awareness of one’s future and can restrain present impulse. The sentiment does not compare oneself with others, but is concerned solely with oneself as an absolute and valuable existence.
We could all use a little more love in our lives, especially for ourselves. Improving our health and wellbeing on all levels (mental, physical, emotional) is how we can show ourselves love.
