    En su libro publicado en 2004, Elogio de la lentitud, Carl Honoré explicaba que se percató de su adicción a la velocidad mientras hacía cola para embarcar. Aunque el avión no iba a salir antes, por mucha impaciencia que tuviera, se notaba ansioso y maldecía que la puerta de embarque no se hubiera abierto ya. Al darse cuenta de su estado, empezó a hacerse preguntas: ¿Por qué estamos siempre tan apresurados? ¿Es posible hacer las cosas más despacio?

    Playing Favorites When it comes to books and beauty products, she easily picked one from each category: SK-II Ultimate Revival Eye Cream ($195) and The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim. But in terms of her go-to NYC restaurant, she couldn’t choose just one. “My favorite restaurants are both in NYC: En Japanese Brasserie in Greenwich Village and Il Posto Accanto in the Lower East Side.”

    Haemin is especially eloquent on life’s smaller dissatisfactions, and how they can sometimes be trickier to deal with than the bigger, more dramatic ones. For example, though it’s a good thing that we talk so much more openly today about mental illness, one perverse consequence is that it can actually be easier to admit to a serious depression than to a milder, pervasive sense of disappointment in life. “Unlike other emotions, disappointment is very tricky to express: it comes out as petty and small-minded,” Haemin writes; it also tends to sound like you’re blaming other people for failing to measure up. Yet of course it’s a far more widespread problem than severe suffering. It has been argued that Buddha’s observation that “life is suffering” might be more accurately translated as something like “life is bothersome”. (With luck, extreme agony will be very infrequent in your life, but a background sense of things being not quite right may be truly close to universal.) The first step towards relieving this kind of discontent, Haemin suggests, is to recognise the untenability of the demand that you, or anyone you encounter, should demonstrate perfection to begin with. Much of the bothersomeness of daily life arises not from circumstances themselves, but from the insistence that they ought to be other than they are.

    Union Bulletin / February 21, 2019

    Zen Buddhist teacher Sunim (“The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down”) looks tantalizingly at essential yet everyday aspects of the human experience in this lively book of reflections. Divided into broad chapters filled with anecdotes spanning the globe, the book is a multicultural offering for all readers, though the quality varies. Some chapters are relatable and valuable, such as “Family,” in which Sunim urges adult children to care for their elderly parents, and “Empathy,” in which he reminds readers of the power of hugs and listening as an act of love.
