by Shunmyo Masuno (Author)
Here is a secret that all Zen masters know: the vast majority of our concerns are illusions, unfounded assumptions, false impressions, or imaginary fears. That is the magic of this book: teaching us to go through life from the Zen mentality, so that we are not slaves to the mind. With the same humility and joy that captivated us in The Art of Living Simply, Shunmyo Masuno shares 48 lessons--along with 30 zengo, or Zen proverbs, interspersed throughout the text--for freeing the mind and environment from distortions. Avoid comparisons with others, get rid of unnecessary things, admit mistakes immediately, do not hesitate to ask for help or stop absorbing too much information are some of the keys proposed by the author to transform anxiety for peace and wisdom. A little treasure, created by one of the most beloved masters of our time, to illuminate the hustle and bustle of everyday life with the magic of Zen.
