Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
What if we could learn to look instead of see, listen instead of hear, feel instead of touch? Priest and best-selling author 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excruciating narration.
The content of this book is completely ruined by the irritating voice if the narrator. She appears to be emulating a five year old and seems at great pains not to pronounce her t’s at the beginning of words - is this actually mistakenly encouraged in audio narration? She pronounces them fine if they appear in the middle of a word so if it is on purpose she has failed. Whether on purpose or not it is extremely annoying and very distracting from the actual content, and she does her best to dumb down the message of the book with her babyish voice. I persevered with it as the book was recommended to me and I didn’t have time to sit down with the book. The content is useful but a lot of it was lost on me due to the irritation I experienced. On balance I don’t think it was worth the challenge, But with a different narrator it would be a nice book. Thankfully it wasn’t a very long book.

Old fashioned and didactic commandments
This book seems to be a long list of puritanical pronouncements and commandments on correct thoughts and correct behaviour. It’s the opposite of what one might expect based on the title and description.
