"Myung Sung" is an earnest attempt to bridge traditional Korean mindfulness with contemporary practices, and it could serve as a gentle introduction to those new to the concept of active meditation. For those well-versed in mindfulness techniques, the book may reiterate familiar concepts rather than provide new revelations.

Took me a long time to read this book. Sorry to say i did not enjoy it. Nothing against the authour, its just not my thing.

This was full of really intriguing ideas to apply to one's life and try to find the happiness in the everyday and mundane.

This is a really intersecting book combining Tao with mindfulness. The teachings are split into parts and often are told in the reflections and stories of the authors father. This book explains Tao in a nice format with some great principals to live by.
Highly recommended and different perspectives to many other books on the market.

An interesting perspective on mindfulness, it’s great to be presented with different ways and opinions about things.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

An interesting read which you will find yourself referring back to and using throughout your day. If you want to find out for about meditation this is definitely worth a read to help guide you.

Myung Sung was a different mindful book in comparison to the other books that I have read. It was very thoughtful and motivating. I liked the little stories in between of the author's father and the lessons he learnt. It helped gain perspective into some of the practices mentioned.

An interesting view of how to be a good, balanced person. I loved the stories of her father with his mentor. An enjoyable and instructional book.

Myung Sung: The Korean Art of Living Meditation by Jenelle Kim is a small book that lists eight keys to live one's life in a mindful, calming way. Throughout this book, the author thinks back on all that her dad taught her. She encourages us to lift others up and show respect for others and their humanness. I found this passage to be inspiring: "Every day lost is two days spent--one wasted on the wrong path, another catching up on the right path. Happily, though, the way of mindfulness pays a thousand-fold, for the good seeds spread without end, season after season, until destiny brings you and the coming generations to the top of the mountain, to the highest form of humanness." She also talks about how we determine our own reality. We can either allow outside factors to influence us negatively, or we can let our inner world determine our outer reality. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who would like a short, inspiring read about mindfulness. Thanks to NetGalley for the free digital review copy. All opinions are my own.

This was a new concept for me to read about, but it was an interesting reading. It tried to show by practical examples from the author's father how myung sung works which I found interesting.

This is an interesting take on mindfulness and meditation. The storytelling style was not for me personally as it focused too much on the Author's father's story to elaborate on the principles of the mindfulness technique MYUNG SUNG.

A beautiful book about what American people perceive as mindfulness, but it is actually much deeper.
As a witch myself, I think that this book is really good if you would like to do some shadow-work.
