Publisher's Summary

"Is it the world that's busy, or is it my mind?"

The world moves fast, but that doesn't mean we have to. In this best-selling mindfulness guide - it has sold more than three million copies in Korea, where it was a number-one best-seller for 41 weeks and received multiple best book of the year awards - Haemin Sunim (which means "spontaneous wisdom"), a renowned Buddhist meditation teacher born in Korea and educated in the United States, illuminates a path to inner peace and balance amid the overwhelming demands of everyday life.

By offering guideposts to well-being and happiness in eight areas - including relationships, love, and spirituality - Haemin Sunim emphasizes the importance of forging a deeper connection with others and being compassionate and forgiving toward ourselves.

THE BEST BOOK EVER

Thank you for such a great Experience and all the knowledge I got from this Amazing Masterpiece. No bullshit no water no blah blah blah about nothing for hours..who has time for books that are 9 hours long and have value only for 1 hour of listening. this book is different. plus, the narattors voice is so calming and peaceful 😊
