"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.

I really enjoyed this book. This young man is very wise. The book was thought provoking, I feel that it has persuaded me to change or strive to be a better person, to slow down , to think things through. I recommend this read to everyone who has looked at the tittle. You will not be disappointed.

this is the best book i listened to on the subject. each chapter is short and to the point. does not go into lengthy chatter.

This was pleasant to read. It's basically a collection of proverbs and anecdotes designed to help you think more about life and your relationships with others/ the world. Much of the advice and thoughts are things I've learned from studying the Bible, therapy sessions (cognitive behavioral therapy techniques), martial arts, random lessons/ morals from books, "folksy" wisdom, personal life lessons, and random other things. That being said, it was worth having them cobbled together in a single work.

I'm considering purchasing a physical copy in order to have it on hand for random page openings for when I'm feeling somber/ blue and want some general encouragement.

It's Pleasant Enough

I loved this book. Haemin Sunim grants the reader/listener permission to slow down by talking about the incredible benefits of being more observant, aware, and relaxed.

Narrator was good, too.

Will listen to this book several times in the future.
