When Things Don't Go Your Way by Haemin Sunim

"In When Things Don't Go Your Way, Haemin Sunim offers readers a warm and reassuring path through the most challenging moments of our lives. By sharing his hard-won wisdom, he guides us from hardship to self-discovery, helping us to stay centered and feel whole." -Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and co-host of the Dear Therapists podcast

From renowned Zen Buddhist teacher Haemin Sunim, a guide to turning life's challenges into opportunities for self-discovery


Have you ever felt like life has thrown you a curveball? Are you struggling to overcome unexpected challenges and setbacks?

While loss, heartbreak, and loneliness are all part of the human experience, in this warm guide, internationally bestselling author Haemin Sunim shows us that these moments can actually be rare opportunities for self-discovery, serving as stepping stones to greater things in life.

Drawing on Zen Buddhist philosophy and Sunim's own experiences, When Things Don't Go Your Way helps you navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace. Whether you're dealing with rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, conflicts in relationships, or burnout--or simply seeking to improve your mental and emotional well-being--Sunim offers a new spiritual perspective, one that helps us face life's challenges with greater ease and understanding, and offers solace and courage when we need it the most.

Haemin Sunim is a well-known Zen Buddhist teacher and author in South Korea, where his books have sold over three million copies and are widely used as aids to not only meditation but also overcoming daily obstacles. He was born in South Korea and moved to the United States to study film, but he was soon drawn into the spiritual life. He had rigorous monastic instruction in Korea and taught Buddhism at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, after graduating from UC Berkeley, Harvard, and Princeton. While he's not traveling to promote his lessons, he lives in Seoul with over a million followers on Twitter (@haeminsunim) and Facebook.
