Since 2018, Samuel López-Lago has been developing and compiling various methods that meet at the intersection between mindfulness and craftsmanship, all of which are explained in this book.
The process of creating with craftspeople, an experience paired with professional practice, has allowed him to better understand the material, the medium and the environment. If there is one thing that characterises craftsmanship, it is the need for mindfulness, and it was precisely shortly after collaborating with different groups of craftspeople that he began to work on the juncture of meditation and craftsmanship, two paths that had a lot in common.
From his experience in these fields, López-Lago has developed a series of practical exercises which are useful for anyone who decides to embark on the journey of getting to know oneself better and fully connecting body and mind.
Anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, improve their cognitive flexibility, enhance their ability to solve complex problems, process information more effciently, or adopt a more innovative mindset can implement what is described in this book. Consequently, they will «feel» the positive changes in their creative, professional, and personal lives.
People who are not afraid to try new thingd and learn about what they do as new insights emerge.
