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.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
