What if moments of great difficulty are, in fact, opportunities for
growth and self-discovery? What if they can serve as stepping stones to
greater things in life?
Modern life doesn't always go our way. Loss, rejection, uncertainty and
loneliness are unavoidable parts of the human experience -- but there
is solace to be found.
In When Things Don't Go Your Way, Zen Buddhist teacher Haemin Sunim
provides simple but powerful wisdom for navigating life's challenges.
Through his trademark combination of beautiful illustrations,
insightful stories, and contemplative aphorisms, Sunim helps us reframe
our mindsets and develop emotional agility.
Whether you're in the midst of a crisis or simply seeking to improve
your mental and emotional wellbeing, When Things Don't Go Your Way is a
soothing balm that helps us all find courage and comfort when we need
it most.
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, in a beautiful book combining his teachings with calming full-colour illustrations. 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 religion, borders and ages. With insight and compassion drawn from a life full of change, the bestselling monk succeeds at encouraging all of us to notice that when you slow down, the world slows down with you.
The Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller From the author of the
phenomenal multi-million copy bestseller The Things You Can See
Only When You Slow Down "Hearing the words 'be good to yourself
first, then to others' was like being struck by lightning." Many of
us respond to the pressures of life by turning inwards and ignoring
problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others
react by working harder at work, at school or at home, hoping that
this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what
if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to
take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be
at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world
around us. In this beautiful follow-up to his international
bestseller The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, Buddhist
monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom and kindness to
self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself - and the flaws
which make you who you are - can you have compassionate and
fulfilling relationships with your partner, family and friends.
"Even products labelled 'limited edition' are made on a production
line with hundreds that are exactly the same. But there is only one
you in the world." *** "Haemin writes beautifully and simply...
these vital life lessons resonate deeply and easily" Miranda Hart
"The world could surely use a little more love, a little more
compassion, and a little more wisdom. In Love for Imperfect Things,
Haemin Sunim shows us how to cultivate all three, and to find
beauty in the most imperfect of things-including your very own
self" Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet
"Heartwarming, calming and simple. But also filled with wisdom and
powerful truths that will teach us to love ourselves first in order
to transform our relationships with our loved ones" Hector Garcia,
author of IKIGAI - The Japanese secret to a long and happy life "A
wonderful book to accompany The Things You Can See... page by page,
he shows you how to reclaim your freedom and your life" Professor
Mark Williams, author of the bestselling Mindfulness "A real
treasure. It teaches us that compassion is at the heart of healing
. . . starting with ourselves. I highly recommend this book"
Christiane Northrup, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom "You can be the most amazing human
being in the world and everyone sees rays of light, love, and
genius when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it,
all of that external admiration doesn't matter one bit. Haemin
Sunim teaches you ways to love yourself first, instead of loving
the idea of other people loving you. It makes a world of
difference" Marc and Angel Chernoff, New York Times bestselling
