Summary

What is Zen? What are its doctrinal principles? What is its purpose? These are just some of the questions this audiobook will answer.

Zen is a methodology of the spirit, conscience and mind that can be adopted by anyone, anywhere and at any time.

Zen is a practice that needs to be experienced, not understood. Perhaps for this reason for us Westerners it may seem difficult, but it's actually simpler than you might think.

In this audiobook you will discover the different kinds of meditation, the Mindfulzen, the difference between detachment and non-attachment.

This incredibile audiobook will:

  • make you think and feel in new and different ways
  • make you grasp the essence of what is around you
  • help to take your life into the path of awareness
  • help you to adapt to life's inevitable changes
  • teach you how to nurture a mindful happiness in your daily life

Zen is found in every moment of our life, and the quality of our life depends on the degree of awareness with which we live it.

Doing meditation, eating well, having fulfilling sex, having a garden, walking in Zen mode are all ways to feel good.

Curious analogies between East and West and pop references makes this audiobook both a pleasant and an interesting listen.

At the end of the audiobook we find experiences, stories, and anecdotes that call for a more detailed reflection.

Suitable for everyone, even for those who are completely fasting on Eastern religions.

Enjoy the listen!

Good

I just finished this book on Audible and found it easy to listen to and encouraging. I will likely purchase the paperback version to highlight keys parts that I can revisit easily

Good book

Very informative lectures. The balance between being high level and providing too much information is well maintained. The author is clearly an expert on the subject, he draws from personal experience and tells us many anecdotes about his personal experience with Buddhism.

Lacking warmth

I found her reading to be very drone and flat. maybe she was trying to sound calm and spiritual. for me it was like listening to a robot. not my thing. lacking soul and vitality.
