Due to the circumstances, I’m reading more than ever before. With that being said, I seldom come across a book that I would consider to be life-changing. The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim is one of those exceptions and I’m excited some insights that I gained from his book with you.
What is the book about?
There’s so much that I love about this book, but I’ll start with how applicable it is to everyone, from teenagers to adults. The chapters are broken down into the following topics:
- Rest
- Mindfulness
- Passion
- Relationships
- Love
- Life
- The Future
- Spirituality
Sunim writes with great depth, yet the words are easy to follow and understand. I imagine this will be one of those books where I gain new insights from each time I read it.

Conclusion
The title of this book is so relevant to the slowed pace of life we are all experiencing at this time. While inconvenient, I believe we can do great things during this pandemic if we take time to gain awareness, to rest, and to practice gratitude.
