Book Review : The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

Hello hiii bibliomaniac!

    So I just read this amazing book a month ago. First thing first, let me say thank you to Haemin Sunim for making this incredible work. I really love the feelings while diving into this page by page.

[Synopsis]

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

In this beautifully illustrated, bestselling guide to mindfullness, Haemin Sunim, a Buddhist monk born in Korea who has experienced a lifetime of change, offers spiritual advice on everything from handling setbacks at work to dealing with love and relationship.

Speaking directly to the anxieties that have become part of modern life, Haemin Sunim's simple, compassionate teaching transcend religion, borders and ages, and serve as a calming reminder of the strength and joy that come from slowing down.

The world moves fast, but doesnt't mean we have to.

    The Things You Can Only See When You Slow Down is self-improvement kinda book and there is 8 chapter which every  chapter will discuss different issues such passion, relationship, life, etc. This book will bring us going deeper into the "side" that we ignore on daily basis. It's not like we ignore it on purpose, we just don't notice it cause people tend to moving fast as society told them to.

    

[Chapter 1]

Why Am I So Busy?

When everything around me moving so fast, I stop and ask, 

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

    Indeed, we, as human being, who lives in judgemental society used to try our best to satisfy both our mind and society standard. Even if you're not, still, you want to live as normal as everyone should live. So that, people start living a hustle life, working 24/7, sleepless, having anger issue, unhealthy relations with others, etc.

    But, Haemin Sunim teach us how to be mindfullnes to ourselves. Alright, ain't gonna spoil you guys more hahaha you have to read it yourself. I swear this book is worth to read, if you have any free time or if you have a hard time and feeling kinda poopy about you and your-chaotic-life, I recommend you to read this. 

Okay. Last. I'll attach my fav words here,
