“You shouldn’t think about this problem like I do.
Don't think too quickly.
“You have to think slowly, leisurely, and without stress to solve it.” --- p.4

The reason people have trouble getting into a state of immersion is because there is always a 'flow barrier' between a distracted state and a state of high immersion.
We tend to take the easy way out in life and instinctively try to avoid obstacles.
--- p.27

Slow thinking differs from simple concentration in that it maintains a focused state, but rather than allowing your thoughts to remain in one place, you engage your brain dynamically to solve the problem.
As you practice and become more comfortable with slow thinking, you will find yourself replacing your old habits of thinking urgently and shallowly with habits of thinking slowly and deeply.
Learning slow thinking is a process of changing your thinking habits.

However, many people do not understand the concept of slow sinking.
'Thinking' is always a headache and a struggle, so how can we think 'comfortably and without stress'?
Some say it sounds absurd to be highly immersed while relaxing your body and mind.
But when you actually try it, slow sinking is not difficult at all.
Anyone can do it easily if they know how.

Therefore, it can be seen that it is advantageous to do rote learning, which focuses on memory storage, in an awake state, and think-based learning, which focuses on memory retrieval, in a relaxed state.
In other words, when memorizing words or listening to a lecture, an aroused state is advantageous, and when understanding content or solving an unknown problem, a relaxed state is more advantageous.
This is precisely why slow thinking is said to be advantageous for solving unknown problems and generating ideas.

Thinking in this 'lazy' position usually makes you sleepy, so you just keep that position and lean your neck back to sleep.
Rather than 'fighting' against sleepiness and falling asleep, it would be more appropriate to say 'welcoming' sleepiness.
It's a light nap while sitting up, so I wake up on my own after no more than 20 minutes.
When I wake up like that, my thoughts naturally continue.
--- p.74

Through deliberate immersion and slow-sinking, we can fill the stage of consciousness with as much content as we need.
In that sense, a slow sinker can be said to be someone who does not lose control of their life and leads their life in the direction they want.
--- p.87

The immersion we seek is to solve the big and small problems we encounter in our daily lives and to maximize our potential.
However, the effect is not much different from that pursued in Ganhwaseon or Jeongja meditation in that by focusing highly on the task given to me in a relaxed state, I achieve creative enlightenment, reach a peaceful and happy mental state, and ultimately lead to a change in values.
--- p.104

“It was a real wake-up call.
I thought I didn't use my smartphone much, but when I looked at my KakaoTalk conversation history, I realized I've been chatting with friends a lot.
There were also many traces of mindless internet surfing.
I didn't realize that until now.
“It was such a shame to think that the immersion I had worked so hard to build up was suddenly ruined by something like this.” --- p.122

It is revealed that through long-term immersion experiences, they have developed values ​​that are clearly different from those of their peers.
This change in values ​​is because I have gained confidence in life as I have learned how to do my best and be happy.
--- p.154

It's not just the lack of time that's encouraging office workers to utilize their spare time.
If you set aside time for slow-sinking, you can easily feel pressured to achieve good results.
However, if you utilize the spare time that is 'time that would otherwise be wasted', you can slow sink comfortably without this burden and pressure.
--- p.183

When a problem is difficult, distracting thoughts come in without any progress in thinking.
There is absolutely no need to worry about that.
When immersion is low, distracting thoughts arise not because you are out of your mind, but because it is a natural phenomenon, like a law of nature.
As soon as you realize that you have lost yourself in a distracting thought, simply bring the original problem you were thinking about back onto the stage of consciousness.
--- p.281

The very act of thinking about a problem brings excitement and fun, and miraculous ideas that help solve the problem come to mind with a high frequency.
Every time that happens, I feel joy and thrill.
At such times, life becomes dazzlingly brilliant, and this experience continues, inspiring one's own life and leading to self-realization, which brings out deeply hidden potential.
