Through his office window, Daniel regularly notices Su in the nearby park. Calm and happy, Su sits in the same position every day, doing nothing. Daniel eventually builds courage to approach her to ask what she’s up to. He wants to know if she isn’t ever bored, sitting there without doing anything. Su responds that she could never be bored, because she is using 100% of her concentration. Daniel is puzzled when Su explains that she is concentrating on “absolutely nothing”. A friendship starts in which Daniel learns a series of simple tips about how to be happier and more contented. These lessons are shared by Su based on her experience, and they mirror the great wisdoms which have been passed down from philosophers of the ages.
