Features: Many workplace professionals work tirelessly until they fall ill. Some say they "know only how to work and not how to rest." We argue that they are not "unskilled at resting," but rather lack the capacity to rest. The root of this problem lies in their "unskilled work." Therefore, today we must complete a "work revolution." We must learn to work without additional expenses; to work by eliminating unnecessary anxieties; to work by achieving comprehensive stress relief; to work by managing multiple tasks efficiently and in order; to work by achieving twice the results with half the effort, thereby increasing productivity; to work by being able to pick up and let go, freely switching between work and rest. We must also learn to work with continuous bursts of genius and creativity. Only by truly "knowing how to work" can one truly "rest." The Mind Tai Chi teaches us how to become exceptionally successful yet healthy and free modern individuals. Only by being healthy and free can one achieve exceptional success. Here is a set of survival skills to master. Every modern person must practice humanistic care for themselves, seize the opportunity to complete their own work revolution. Only those who achieve success while remaining healthy and carefree in life's arena are truly worth admiring. We are not avoiding work, but rather not working in a state of unbearable anxiety. We are not too busy, but rather not busy with constant worry and a mind burdened with suffering. This book integrates the wisdom and fun of Zen with modern psychology, exploring how modern individuals can self-regulate their state and cope with survival crises under pressure.
