Summary: Learning From The Book, The Cushion & Applying It To Life
Comment: (4.75 Stars)

I'm new to the Everything series books - and I'm enjoying them very much. They are pretty similar to the Dummies and Idiots books, but without that initial giggling of having the words ...for Dummies - and Idiot in the titles.

This is a great introduction to what Zen is and it has some of the best, useful and practical tips and advice on to how to practice that I've ever read.

The big focus in this book is the practice of Zen. That's not to say that all the book talks about is meditation. The Everything Zen Book pretty much covers as close to everything Zen as one book can.

I was most impressed with how The Everything Zen Book wonderfully emphasizes throughout that Zen is the Practice. No smoke and mirrors of what Zen is - just the real - as Jacky Sach's and Jessica Faust simply put:

Zen starts with seated meditation, then you take what you learn on the cushion and apply it to the rest of your life...

The negative - someone chose to have a horribly difficult to read font for the quotes that are peppered throughout the book - it ruined the initial experience of each of these fantastic quotes making them almost impossible to read. Not a deal breaker - I still highly recommend the book to those interested in Zen and those that want to further learn about hitting the cushion and start meditating...
