The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to Be Calm and Mindful in a Fast-Paced World

wonderful book! Everyone should read this book. The author shows his compassion and love for others in short, right-on to the point, words of wisdom. We are all flawed and live our lives in reaction to what we perceive. We usually take things personally. This book helps the reader step back from his/her own ego, and see others as trying to make their way through life just as you are. It is a wonderful philosophy to help us navigate through the struggles we all face, at work, at home, in love, in rejection, in politics. Taking in the wisdom of this book could change the outcome of things like marital strife, love relations, feelings of inadequacy, jealousy, etc. We mostly face the same struggles and this book helps us develop compassion for others.

Many people loved this book, Was suggested to me by a passenger reading it on the London tube’s… OK yes, it’s a nice so journey into the peaceful minded way of life, for many that itself might make this I love the reading experience. For me I found the book pretty standard in the “life is beautiful if you only open your eyes to it“ school of thought, pretty much like a cup of chamomile tea, comforting but not terribly potent.

There’s arguably no better book to read right now, in this age of stay at home lockdown 2020, than this book. It refreshes us of all the simple values and good principles that may have been lost in the hectic world, which could serve us as the soothing basis for our calmness and sanity in this pandemic scare. It’s very heartwarming and powerful at the same time.

I absolutely LOVE this book! I seriously can’t stop reading it. I keep a highlighter next to me when reading just so I can highlight many good quotes it in. Just the way it gets you thinking and just have a positive mind and understanding is just amazing. I haven’t even finished reading it yet and I’ve already bought it for two more friends. Highly recommend

What a great book! Little nuggets of wisdom for everyday life. I bought these as gifts for so many people. They all loved it.

I didn't take the author's advice and instead read this book straight through, highlighting the parts that struck a chord. I'm now looking forward to reading it again, slowing down, wringing as much as I can from each bit of wisdom. I believe there's something good in it for everyone. It's definitely worth your time.

Such a cute, uplifting, feel good book. The advice is so simple, so intuitive, yet worth reviewing. The artwork is so beautiful. Read it slowly and enjoy it. It's good stuff.

great book, Im a firm believer in being the change you wish to see in the world, this book helps put it into perspective. Highly recommend read.

Very wise words on how to look at different scenarios in ones life and act accordingly. This book reminds us that we are not just one but are part of the universe. It really makes you think about how you treat others and ultimately how this affects you in becoming a better person. A book to take your time reading, time to slow down and process thoughts.

I found it very enjoyable to begin with but, as it went on and I realised the format (explanation followed by platitudes), I got a bit tired of it. I am new to mindfulness and found this partially helpful.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but it will be very useful for future reference. There are many short pieces of advice and sayings which, for those who struggle with everyday life, may just take the "edge" off things. One of the best quotes I have ever heard from a professional is "Remember - not ALL stress is yours"

Such beautiful words to help you through life’s ups and downs. I read and re read this book before sleep and all my cares just drifted away. Why make life difficult, when if you slow down and listen, life can become a joy.

This is just so beautiful....I will be reading this over again from time yo time to keep the sunshine in my heart that it has given me......a very enlightening special read.......read it {°-°} 👌🙏💕
