Some words just land differently when you see them brought to life.
We came across Zen Pencils on a day when we were feeling a bit stuck—and ended up reading half the book in one go. Gavin Aung Than takes quotes from people like Maya Angelou, Einstein, and the Dalai Lama, and turns them into illustrated stories that feel surprisingly personal. It’s not preachy or too polished—just wise words made more relatable through art. Aung left a corporate job to do this full-time, and it shows. This is the book we reach for when we want a push, but can’t stomach another “You’ve got this!” pep talk.
Perfect For:
Anyone who prefers their inspiration with drawings, not buzzwords.
We are driven by curiosity, and a deep love for product, and are committed to transparency. We scour the internet to find products we love—from brands we trust. We look for things that stand out for their distinctive design, quality and mindfulness. We recommend these finds on the Souk website and in our newsletters—and tell you exactly why we like them. Like any friend would do.
If you're new to this, here's the deal — when you buy something through a link on Souk, we may earn a percentage of the sale, but it is at no extra cost to you. This allows us to remain independent and focused on curating only what we genuinely love. Any ad or sponsored post will be clearly labelled as such — there are no secret product placements on Souk! Each time you use our links to buy something, it supports our team's hard work as your trusted shopping buddy.
