What if we could learn to look instead of see， listen instead of hear， feel instead of touch？ Former monk Ryunosuke Koike shows how， by incorporating simple Zen practices into our daily lives， we can reconnect with our five senses and live in a more peaceful， positive way。
When we focus on our senses and learn to re-train our brains and our bodies， we start to eliminate the distracting noise of our minds and the negative thoughts that create anxiety。 By following Ryunosuke Koike's practical steps on how to breathe， listen， speak， laugh， love and even sleep in a new way， we can improve our interactions with others， feel less stressed at work and make every day calmer。 Only by thinking less， can we appreciate more。

I did like this book and what it was trying to do but at times it was a little preachy and trying to shame us for how we behave in the modern world。 I did like the writing and found this easy to get through but the tone wasn't always the best。 I did like this book and what it was trying to do but at times it was a little preachy and trying to shame us for how we behave in the modern world。 I did like the writing and found this easy to get through but the tone wasn't always the best。 。。。more

It's a book about mindfulness with the extra guilt trip。 The idea was nice and probably meant to be inspiring， but the way it was written wasn't great and kept making readers feel judged and corrected like a child。 It's a book about mindfulness with the extra guilt trip。 The idea was nice and probably meant to be inspiring， but the way it was written wasn't great and kept making readers feel judged and corrected like a child。 。。。more

Although I have read many books on Mindfulness in all its various forms， this book， which combines it in a very clear way with Zen Buddhism， remains one of my favourites， although one of the least applicable， at least as far as I am concerned。 Definitely one of the texts in which theory is much easier than practice。。。。Per quanto abbia letto molti libri sulla Mindfulness in tutte le sue varie declinazioni， questo libro che la unisce in modo molto chiaro al buddismo zen， resta uno dei miei preferi Although I have read many books on Mindfulness in all its various forms， this book， which combines it in a very clear way with Zen Buddhism， remains one of my favourites， although one of the least applicable， at least as far as I am concerned。 Definitely one of the texts in which theory is much easier than practice。。。。Per quanto abbia letto molti libri sulla Mindfulness in tutte le sue varie declinazioni， questo libro che la unisce in modo molto chiaro al buddismo zen， resta uno dei miei preferiti per quanto uno dei meno applicabili， almeno per quanto mi riguarda。 Decisamente uno dei testi nei quali la teoria é molto piú facile della pratica。。。。I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review。 。。。more
