Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy by Wook-Jin Clark

funny informative relaxing medium-paced

4.0

The book explores different aspects of mindfulness through short stories and scenarios. Mindfulness can be just as simple as greeting someone with genuine intent. It can be as simple as being considerate and thinking of others while not neglecting your own wants and needs. The book also explained misconceptions of mindfulness through said short stories and scenarios. It can be easy to believe we are practicing mindfulness when in reality our authentic feelings get lost halfway through. For once, I was surprised how uncomplicated mindfulness was when it was laid bare before me in these panels full of engaging dialogue, vivid colours, and memorable characters.

For those who are interested to learn more mindfulness basics or for those like me who have too high expectations for the idea of mindfulness will find this book a pleasant surprise, and it is absolutely a relaxing book to read in this new year full of unknown possibilities and unpredictable happenings.
