The Practice of Not Thinking : A Guide to Mindful Living

This internationally acclaimed work offers practical and transformative methods to extricate ourselves from the clutches of our incessant mental chatter and truly embrace living in the present moment. What if we could cultivate the ability to observe rather than merely see, to listen attentively rather than simply hear, and to feel deeply rather than just touch? Ryunosuke Koike, a former Buddhist monk, demonstrates how seamlessly integrating simple Zen practices into our daily routines can help us reconnect with our five senses and foster a more serene, affirmative way of being.

By directing our attention to our sensory experiences and retraining our minds and bodies, we can begin to eliminate the distracting noise of our thoughts and the negative ruminations that breed anxiety. Through following Ryunosuke Koike's pragmatic guidance on how to breathe, listen, speak, laugh, love, and even slumber in a novel manner, we can enhance our interactions with others, alleviate stress in the workplace, and cultivate a more tranquil daily existence. Paradoxically, it is by thinking less that we can appreciate more.
