The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down : How to Be Calm and Mindful in a Fast-Paced World

The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down : How to Be Calm and Mindful in a Fast-Paced World

 
A multimillion-copy bestselling book of spiritual wisdom about the importance of slowing down in our fast-paced world
 
The world moves fast, but that doesn't mean we have to. 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 relationships and loved ones, in a beautiful book combining his teachings with full-color illustrations that serve as calming visual interludes. Even as we desperately speed toward what comes next, Haemin Sunim's messages of solace and encouragement speak directly to the anxieties that have become part and parcel of modern life and remind us of the strength and joy that come from slowing down.
 
Overwhelmingly popular in his native Korea, where his book has sold millions of copies, Haemin Sunim is a spiritual leader whose teachings transcend religions and borders and resonate with people of all ages. With insight and compassion drawn from a life full of change-moving from Korea to the U.S., studying film before discovering his true calling-he succeeds at encouraging all of us to notice that when you slow down, the world slows down with you.
