Customer Reviews

A superb book! - Rated 4/5
This is the first book I have read about Zen, and for me it really hit home! I'm not someone who follows any particular movement, I just simply like to read about what's out there, embrace what feels true to me and discard the rest. Charlotte has really addressed so many questions I had in my mind, that I feel truly blessed to have come across this book. I already meditate and chant mantras, but this book has come into my hands at just the right time! With reference to a previous reviewer who said they couldn't understand the book. In my experience if you cannot relate to what's being said in a book, don't read it. Because chances are you are not emotionally and mentally ready to receive the information contained within, until a later date.


I dont get it - Rated 1/5
I read the other reviews and thought this book sounded great. I practise martial arts and wanted to learn more about zen. Basically for me, I dont like this book because I dont understand it. I read the same lines over and over unable to fathom what she was talking about. Sorry Ms.Joko Beck. Maybe ill read it again in 20 years time and say oh i get it, but i doubt it.


One to refer to again & again - Rated 4/5
I am not a Buddhist, nor do i know too much about Zen. But this book, to me, is pretty good 'practice' in itself. The content is not over complicated and although quite frank at times, it is this honesty that gives a ring of truth. I read this book when i feel in an irrational state, be it angry,fed up , whatever. i feel more centered afterwards.


This is it! - Rated 5/5
This, and Joko Becks' other books express true Zen. I have read many, many books on Zen and 'practiced' on my own for many years whilst avoiding joining an established group. Joko Beck, however, changed that and after performing an internet serch of her name I became a member of her zen school headed by one of her dharma heirs. Another excellent book to consider is Hardcore zen by Brad Warner. I cannot recommend these books enough.


inspirational and down to earth - Rated 5/5
This is a really wonderful book - putting Buddhist principles into real life. I can't recommend it highly enough.

My only complaint is it didn't define properly what sesshin and zazen were. I think these should have been discussed for the lay person as I was on holiday when I read it without access to an internet to look these things up.

I always like to have memorable reads on holiday to add an extra special flavour, and this book definately provided this.
