The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to be Calm in a Busy World Paperback

Haemin Sunim writes from inside a Buddhist monastic life but addresses the ordinary pressures of work, family and comparison that fill most people's days. The book is arranged in themed chapters, each opening with a short essay and continuing in brief reflections that can be taken one at a time. Its structure resists being rushed, and many readers keep it on a bedside table rather than finishing it in order. The advice stays practical rather than doctrinal, which is part of why it travelled well beyond readers already interested in Buddhism. This Penguin Life paperback runs 288 pages and carries the illustrations that accompany the text. What readers get: • Short reflections that can be read a few at a time • Themed chapters on rest, work and relationships • 288-page Penguin Life paperback edition • Illustrated pages set alongside the written passages For readers interested in mindfulness, Buddhist thought and calmer daily habits, stocked by Boipoka.
