Book review: The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to be Calm in a Busy World by Haemin Sunim
Rating: 4 out of 5
This is a beautiful book to read. But I found that it needs to be read carefully and thoughtfully to allow the relevant thoughts to sink it. Not all stories, or thoughts, or pictures resonate with me. But some do, and that’s always an experience worth savouring.
I like the format - essay, illustration, thoughts. Different ways to experience and learn.
Highlighted passage:
It suggests that the world is experienced according to the state of one’s mind. When your mind is joyful and compassionate the world is too. When your mind is filled with negative thoughts, the world appears negative, too. When you feel overwhelmed and busy, remember that you are not powerless, when your mind rests, the world also rests
