In my opinion, this book is poorly written. It’s leader has fundamental misunderstandings regarding mind/body/spirit, and yet approaches the theme as though she has the truth in hand. The approach feels oddly like an elementary school teacher leading her students to the blessed truth. I don’t know; it’s just…too dogmatic, and from time to time there are concepts open which will make you (as an intelligent reader) WINCE! I mean, really WINCE! It’s soooo poor, that I THREW it away rather than place it for another reader to stumble upon at my local coffeehouse. Save your money. (THAT’S a concept you can take to the bank!)

I suppose if you were already a Zen student and had a “teacher” and could run down to the local “Zen Center” a few times a week, you might delight in this book, or at least be able to read it. Otherwize, take a pass on this one.
Here’s a hint, if you write a book in english, keep it in english! Or at least define all of the non-english words. Otherwise, I don’t know what you’re trying to say, and putting them in italic helps as much as an hideous American shouting english to a non-english speaker.
I selected this book because I wanted more inter-peace, and wanted to open myself to a new experience. That made reading it so much more frustrating. The inside referances made me feel left out of a cliche, not at all englightening. I felt an overall lack of respect for the reader.
Look, my only experience with Zen is that I read a book “Zen Golf” that improved my golf game, make me delight in golf more, made me delight in my life more, and therefor made me want to learn more about Zen. This “Everyday Zen” had the opposite affect.
If there was a prereq. for this book, I wish you would have listed it.

I suppose if you were aready a Zen student and had a “teacher” and could run down to the local Zen center 3 times a week, you might delight in this book, or at least know what its about. Otherwise, take a pass on this one.
Here’s a hint, when writting a book in english, USE ENGLISH WORDS! Or at least define all of th non-english words you use. And putting them in italic helps about as much as an hideous Amercian shouting english at non-english speakers. I reflect using undefined terms and building inside references shows a lack of respect for the reader.
I bought this book trying to get into something new, trying to find inner peace, but am left feeling frustrated an left out of some sort of cliche. I’m sure all you Zen masters out there will have a huge smirk on your face, because the simple midwestener just didn’t get it, but I was at least trying to get it, and I don’t reflect the leader met me 1/2 way.
Look, my only experience with Zen is that I read a book called “Zen Golf” that improved my golf game, made me delight in golf more, make me delight in life in all-purpose more, an therefor made me want to learn more about Zen. This book had the opposite affect.
If there was a prerq., I wish it would have been listed.

In a nutshell, Zen is having no effect lacking meditation. It is the basis of Zen. Charlotte Joko Beck’s books are not instruction books on how to meditate, nor are they an introduction to the basic thoughts of Zen Buddhism. Her books are also, I reflect, not very conrete.

This item was agreed as a gift to a friend, who specifically requested it, and expressed fantastic satisfaction on getting it. Pricing, manner of language and product integrity were all satisfactory. My rating it a 4 out of a possible 5 reflects only the fact that I lack first hand experience with the bought item, and can only reflect the limited information conveyed to me by its recipient.
