Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Zen by Shunmyo Masuno.
Relax and find happiness amid the swirl of the modern world with this internationally best-selling guide to simplifying your life by a Japanese monk who embodies the wisdom of Zen.
Drawing on centuries of wisdom, renowned Zen Buddhist priest Shunmyo Masuno applies the essence of Zen to modern life in clear, practical, easily adopted lessons - one a day for 100 days.
Discover how:
- Lining up your shoes after you take them off can bring order to your life
- Putting down your fork after every bite can help you feel more grateful for what you have
- Spending time barefoot can strengthen your body
- Planting a flower and watching it grow can teach you to embrace change
- Going outside to watch the sunset can make every day feel celebratory
In Zen: The Art of Simple Living, you will learn to find happiness not by seeking out extraordinary experiences but by making small changes - to what you do, how you think, how you interact with others and how you appreciate the present moment. With each task, you will open yourself up to a renewed sense of peace and inner calm.

Good Spiritual Read
This is a good spiritual read- very simple and concise. Every lesson is given a crisp title that sums up the teaching. But a brief given by the Zen Monk helps with a better understanding of the lessons of life. As you read, you experience an inner awakening and you feel inspired by the parables that further enrich the meaning.
Hailing from a different country and culture, It felt good to learn a little about the Japanese culture and people. It teaches you how similar every culture is when it teaches you lessons of life.
Truly a wonderful spiritual journey!! Shunmyo Masuno has done a fabulous job of enriching our life with valuable lessons.

Very practical without being too preachy
Very well written and well read. Easy on the ears and the mind, as a Zen book should be.
I would have liked a little more background about the Zen philosophy, before getting into its teachings. Nevertheless an excellent book.
