Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim, read by Sean Pratt.
'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. Haemin Sunim's simple messages - which he first wrote when he responded to requests for advice on social media - 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 religions and borders and resonate with people of all ages. With insight and compassion drawn from a life full of change, the 'mega-monk' succeeds at encouraging all of us to notice that when you slow down, the world slows down with you.

Superficial wisdom
Short and to the point with philosophical wisdom but lacked the depth to make the messages meaningful and be able to absorb the content, as it just jumped from one opinion to another.
It is a bad place to start if you haven’t previously read more detailed spiritual books on Buddhism and from the likes of Eckhart Tolle and Michael Singer.

offering many paradoxes
personally for me the style of delivery felt deeply conflicting but that is the nature of paradoxes for you
