Overview:
This paperback set brings together Haemin Sunim's three bestselling works of mindful wisdom. Written by the Zen Buddhist monk and teacher, the trilogy distils Buddhist philosophy into short, illustrated reflections for modern life, guiding readers through slowing down, weathering setbacks, and practising self-compassion. Together they form a gentle, giftable introduction to mindfulness, ideal for anyone seeking calm and resilience amid a busy world.

About the Books:
The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down launched Haemin Sunim as a global phenomenon, translating monastic insight into short, photo-illustrated chapters on rest, relationships and everyday attention, encouraging readers to pause amid daily noise. When Things Don't Go Your Way turns to life's disappointments, offering Zen-inflected perspective on setbacks and uncertainty, helping readers reframe difficulty as an opportunity for growth. Love for Imperfect Things, the most personal instalment, centres on self-acceptance: Haemin Sunim argues genuine compassion for others begins with kindness toward oneself, and that embracing imperfection - rather than chasing an impossible ideal - is the true foundation of peace. Each book is short, richly illustrated and written in an intimate, conversational voice drawn from the author's talks, social media, and monastery life. Together, the three volumes chart a journey from presence, through resilience, to self-love, and can be read individually or as a companion set. Their popularity - translated into dozens of languages and sold in the millions worldwide - reflects how effectively Haemin Sunim bridges ancient Buddhist teaching and contemporary anxieties around burnout and self-worth. Fans of illustrated non-fiction and modern spirituality will find this set a rewarding companion for daily life, travel, or quiet reflection at home.
