Lots of tids and bits of zen philosophies. I don't remember most of them now anymore.
But I do remember one story. There was once a monk who was happy, but then got diagnosed with cancer which made him stressed. But after a while, he was happy again. When asked what happened, he replied: I am now happily living with my cancer. He simply accepted things as it is.
In a recent holiday, a stone had cracked my windscreen out of nowhere. I was feeling stressed since the crack was growing. After worrying for a while, I remembered the story from above and thought, if that guy can live happily with cancer, a cracked windshield is nothing compared to that. My mind instantly relaxed a bit more and I was able to let go of my worries.
It's incredible what your brain picks up from reading a book. I can't remember anything else, but that story got stuck somehow.

A nice reminder, but it's pretty basic and very repitious. I'm not sure if I took something new from this.

It’s concise, to the point and beautifully illustrated. A good book to pick up when you are feeling down. Turn to one of the pages, read and apply it.

Me encanto.
Tengo la costumbre de cada un par de días abrir en una pagina cualquiera y leer la lección que toque. Me ha hecho repensar y reflexionar sobre muchas cosas como minimalismo, estilo de vida y demás. Sin duda lo recomiendo

Audiobook (2 hours). I really enjoyed this book that focused on simple living, mindfulness, and zen. The audiobook was easy to listen to but I think I would have benefitted more from going through a paper copy and taking time to reflect on each tip the author shared. I’ll probably end up buying a copy of this book to keep in my library, as I can see myself going back and reflecting on this again and again.
