Features: Many workplace professionals work tirelessly until they fall ill, and some say they "only know 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 issue 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 result with half the effort, thereby increasing efficiency; and to work by being able to pick up and let go, freely shifting 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 be exceptionally successful and healthy in modern times. Only by being healthy and at ease can one achieve exceptional success. There is a whole set of survival skills to master. Every modern person must practice humanistic care for themselves and seize the opportunity to complete their own work revolution. Only those who achieve success while remaining healthy and carefree in the arena of life are truly worth admiring. We are not avoiding work, but rather not working in a state of unbearable anxiety. We are not busy, but rather not busy with excessive worry, burdened with constant suffering. This book integrates the wisdom and fun of Zen with modern psychology, exploring how modern people can self-regulate their state and cope with survival crises under the pressure of life.
