Being with Busyness 是一本為當代焦慮社會量身打造的心靈處方，但並不是讓你的「煩惱」不見，而是如何跟「壓力與焦慮」共存卻不崩潰。
當生活節奏愈來愈快，「忙碌」似乎成了一種身分認同──但我們真的快樂嗎？本書由 一行禪師創立的梅村(Plum Village)正念中心的禪師Brother Phap Huu 與資深記者 Jo Confino 聯手撰寫，融合禪修智慧與現實經驗，引導我們在日常奔波中重拾寧靜與平衡。兩位作者也是梅村推出的Podcast“The Way Out is In”的主持人。
書中沒有說教，只有溫柔而實用的提醒：呼吸、覺察、與當下同在。你會學到如何在工作會議前靜心片刻、在壓力山大時與自己好好對話，或如何建立工作與人際的健康界線，甚至在最擁擠的捷運裡，也能找到一絲內在空間。透過一系列實際練習與生活故事，兩位作者邀請我們用慈悲對待自己的極限，並重新定義「有效率」的真正意義。
Brother Phap Huu為一行禪師(Thích Nhat Hanh)的弟子，曾擔任偕侍10年，長年致力禪修與教學工作；Jo Confino 曾經是英國衛報的資深編輯，曾訪問過一行禪師並受其理念打動，現在擔任環境與心靈轉型教練，並長期與 Plum Village 合作。
