An antidote to the ever-faster pace of modern life, Zen monk Paul Loomans presents a simple, seven-step system known as “Time Surfing”, which shows you how to reinject calm into your life. In true Zen fashion, tips include: “Do one thing at a time, and finish what you’re doing” and, more radically, tearing up your to-do lists and trusting your intuition instead: “Your intuition is your best planner. If you trust it, it will provide you with a solid foundation of calm.” Time Surfing will change the way you live and work, enhancing creativity as well as efficiency. Most importantly, however, by choosing peace as the basis for all your daily activities, an inner sense of calm and tranquillity will arise in every area of your life
