In this timely guide to mindfulness, Haemin Sunim, a Buddhist monk born in Korea and educated in the United States, offers advice on everything from handling setbacks to dealing with rest and relationships, in a beautiful book combining his teachings with calming full-colour illustrations. The world moves fast, but that doesn't mean we have to.
'Is it the world that's busy, or my mind?' Highly recommended as it's definitely worth the listening time, especially since you'll wind up wanting to go back again and again.Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim, read by Sean Pratt. Here you'll find beauty about relationships, love (what happens when you find it, how to go on when it spits you out), work, life, and the unutterably ordinary moments that make up our lives. But yes: I will be going back to it time and time again. Naturally, in my state, I devoured it completely.
Haemin Sunim suggests not listening to it at one go, but to listen bit by bit, chewing on and digesting each tidbit. At slightly less than only three hours, each chapter starts with an essay based on experience and is followed by snippets of truly inspiring, thought-provoking, utterly life-changing observations and glimpses to a more profound and fulfilling life. This book goes beyond the usual mindfulness: live in the present, forget about the past and future generalities and offers snippets of hope and peace. 'The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down' came to my rescue when I was mired in a pit of grief and sorrow, worried about what I'd done, what I'd failed to do-basically, I was living a life where I found I couldn't change the past, and the future was looking mighty bleak. What a breath of fresh air! I'm a person who thinks too much, feels too much and sometimes, to my great detriment, says too much. Peace After Thinking And Feeling Too Much?
