‘Is it the world that’s busy, or my mind?’
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 rest and relationships, in a beautiful book combining his teachings with calming full-colour illustrations. Haemin Sunim’s simple messages speak directly to the anxieties that have become part of modern life and remind us of the strength and joy that come from slowing down.
Hugely popular in Korea, Haemin Sunim is a Zen meditation teacher whose teachings transcend religion, borders and ages. With insight and compassion drawn from a life full of change, the bestselling monk succeeds at encouraging all of us to notice that when you slow down, the world slows down with you.

I wanted to love this book, especially with all the buzz, but it just didn’t do much for me. The ‘wisdom’ felt pretty surface-level and mostly consisted of things I already knew or have heard a million times before. The format, with the short paragraphs and little aphorisms, got a bit repetitive and never really delved into any of the topics with enough depth to feel truly helpful. I was hoping for some practical tools or real insight on how to be calmer, but it mostly just states the obvious in a very gentle tone. It might be okay for someone who is completely new to the idea of mindfulness, but if you’ve read anything on the topic before, you’ll probably find it underwhelming.
