When Things Don’t Go Your Way by Haemin Sunim offers reflections on the setbacks that can unsettle everyday life. Drawing on Zen Buddhist philosophy and personal experience, he considers rejection, loneliness, relationship conflict and burnout.

The focus is on finding perspective and responding with greater understanding when circumstances cannot simply be fixed. A gentle spiritual companion for difficult times, rather than a promise that loss and distress can be avoided.
