I got this book when I was in college and I honestly did not “get it” at all. But, after I read A Tale for the Time Being and also learning about Ozeki’s face in the mirror experiment (I want to read that soon), I was reminded of this book and also inspired to think about how all of the repetitive tasks that I do at work can serve as mindfulness practices. Reading this book now really resonates with me and I find it very helpful. Some of my favorite ones are about hugging your child, taking time to look at and smile at family before meals, extinguishing the flames of anger, appreciating red lights, and more. I can imagine re-reading this or even just referencing specific parts in the future.
