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.

The Blatantly Obvious
100 very obvious ways to improve your life. Nothing new here - all rather shallow I'm afraid. Good performance by the narrator though.

Super interesting
Very wise words from a lovely narrator. I liked how the chapters were only a few minutes long but gave you a lot to think about.

Simply life enhancing
I listened to this book once, but I know that I will return to it many times. The sincerity in which it was both written and read is both heartwarming and refreshing.

Well read…nicely modulated
Depth and meaning both implicit and explicit. No pretension or self aggrandisement. The words speak for themselves.
