Welcome to Litsy!

I had to read this quickly for book club but it would have been better as a dip in and out of book. I was a bit put out to find when I googled the author after I'd finished reading that the author had actually been in Jakarta while I was reading it to do some talks and readings which finished the day before.

I‘m spending a few months at my sister‘s who has probably never read a book in her life, but recently bought this one. I found it on my nightstand as I moved into my designated room, so I‘ll guess I‘ll be reading a few pages each day before going to sleep lol

This really did strike a chord. Over the years I have realised that I need stories, words, pages as much as the air I breathe. They nurture my soul, feed my curiosity and calm my mind. Would be lost without them.
How about you?

Simple yet full of wisdom. Definitely a must-read!

"What makes music beautiful is the distance between one note and another. What makes speech eloquent is the appropriate pause between words. From time to time we should take a breath and notice the silence between sounds."

Definitely the best book to observe and redefine fast-based world around, defining essential values and power drivers.

I‘ve been dipping in and out of this book (a series of essays, quotes, interspersed with lovely illustrations) the whole week, sharing some quotes that I loved..it‘s good if you take your time with the little nuggets of suggestions instead of reading it at one go. I didn‘t resonate with everything but basically it aims to make us reflect on our busy life, inspire us to be kinder and nicer to ourselves and interacting with others.

Beautiful illustrations but the text is not for me.

Nice book, good writing and easy to read. However doesn't bring anything new. More of the same.

Some good quotes and anecdotes and I can see why people like it but it lacked a bit of substance for me. #booked2018 #diversenonfiction

Started this last night and what an amazing book 📚 written by an inspirational Buddhist monk with tips about mindfulness, compassion, strength and spirituality ❤️

1. Singapore, 2. Biographies, Inspirational (self-help) - sorry being greedy can‘t stick to one answer, 3. The accidental creative, 4. Tuna sandwich and my dad‘s cooking, 5. Nope, 6. What would be your last meal? (the top qn this week at a company‘s networking session) 😉 #LitsyWelcomeWagon

Currently listening to this delightful book 📖 #mindfulness

Fabulous book. I think this is one I need to go back to again and again. So much to learn. So many habits to practice. #mindfulness #buddhism #awakened #spirituality

This was a spontaneous library request, and it was just the thing I needed to start helping me get out of this "what do I do with my life" funk. I'll be saving my pennies to buy my own copy. Practical, straightforward, smart, and compassionate. Just loved it.

And he loves books for so many reasons - I think he's a Litten at heart! ❤️

Won this book on Goodreads and I like it so far.
