The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

Slowing down, Haemin Sunim suggests, is less a technique than a way of paying attention that most daily routines quietly train out of us. Written by a Buddhist teacher, the book is arranged as short reflections grouped around themes such as rest, relationships, work, love and acceptance. Each passage is brief enough to read in a moment and open enough to return to, and the illustrated layout leaves space around the text rather than crowding it. The tone stays gentle and practical, closer to counsel than to instruction. A closer look: • Short reflective passages instead of chapter-length arguments • Themed sections covering rest, relationships, work and self-acceptance • An illustrated layout designed for unhurried, non-linear reading • Penguin edition of a widely translated mindfulness title Suited to readers seeking calm, reflective non-fiction and to gift buyers, published by Penguin and available at Boipoka.
