The things you can see only when you slow down by 11955242|Hyemin book cover

📘 The things you can see only when you slow down
 by Hyemin

"The world moves fast, but that doesn't mean we have to. In this bestselling mindfulness guide -- it has sold more than three million copies in Korea, where it was a #1 bestseller for forty-one 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 more than twenty full-color illustrations that accompany his teachings serve as calming visual interludes, encouraging us to notice that when you slow down, the world slows down with you." -- Back cover.

Work by 6916022|Thích Nhất Hạnh book cover

📘 Work

"We all need to Chop Wood and Carry Water." In Thich Nhat Hanh's latest teachings on how to use applied Buddhism in daily life, he looks at how we deal with workplace scenarios, handle home and family responsibilities, and endure traffic jams and other challenges of modern life. By carefully examining our everyday choices he encourages us to become a lotus in a muddy world by building mindful communities, learning about compassionate living, and come to an understanding of our inert "Buddha nature." [Work] aims at contributing to new models of leadership and doing business, but is also full of life-coaching advise and finding our true happiness"--
