      Good book for zen meditation i like this book ever
    • 5/5
      A good book to know about zen meditation. You can increase your concentration by following Zen meditation.
    • 2/5
      Due to the brevity of the text it only offers a very superficial account of Zen. This might be useful for someone interested in using meditation as a tool for fighting stress, but it isn't very helpful for understanding what Zen is about. The descriptions of Zen practice are at times a little misleading or oversimplified.
    • 5/5
      1nteresting. Very wise and very zen. I would recommend it. Made me think.
    • 5/5
      Very engaging knowledge one get once he / she follows Zen style of living for completely relaxing. Must listen to the audio several times to receive the essence of the book
    • 4/5
      Quick and easy listen. Nothing too profound in the subject matter that will change your life. I would use the analogy that this book is the equivalent of drinking an ice cold beer or water after working outside on a hot summer day. It hits the spot and you can keep it moving. :).
      Truthfully, I only “read”the book because it was mentioned in Phil Jackson’s book Eleven Rings. I assumed it would have much more depth.
    • 5/5
      It is a very good audiobook. I like this book because

Awesome and unique writing in this book. I again thanks the author of this book to write this amazing book.I hope people will like this book. I recommend this book to anyone who is watching my review. Thank you, have a good day.

    • 5/5
      simple and easy to understand, I have more clarity about zen now
    • 3/5
      Peter Coyote’s audiobook is better since he was a Zen student and a calm speaker. This book should not be read with a self-help book voice.
    • 3/5
      It’s ok. Beginners guide. Not a lot of new ideas.
    • 5/5
      Extremely short introduction to Zen practice. The author defines and explains the basic principles of the practice using simple language.
