Here you can find a short review of his best-known book. The publisher <a href=\"http:\/\/editorialkairos.com\/autores\/ajahn-brahm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kair\u00f3s<\/a> released this volume under the title: Don\u2019t Worry, Be Grumpy, which is also the name of one of his small yet profound parables or stories.<\/p>\n<p>For Ajahn Brahm, humor is essential in life: he understands that there is no need to take everything that happens to us too seriously. Far from advocating a \u201clack of commitment,\u201d as this might suggest, it is quite the opposite: engaging in our own happiness and in that of the people around us requires a shift in perspective, a new way of seeing and acting. That is perhaps the message that runs through this beautiful book of 108 short stories.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2014Please, could you come to my home to give a blessing?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014I\u2019m sorry, the monk replied, it\u2019s impossible. I\u2019m extremely busy today.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014What are you doing today? asked the man.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Nothing, the monk answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014But that\u2019s what you were doing yesterday! the man protested.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Yes, said the monk, but I haven\u2019t finished yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ajahn Brahm is a master at laughing at himself and making others laugh\u2014something that sounds easy but is not at all simple. Even less so is turning reflections full of humor into profound teachings.<\/p>\n<p>A book to read, reread, and share.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Siempre es una agradable noticia un nuevo libro de Ajahn Brahm.
