Changing my thoughts is not going to allow me to be healed. There are some thoughts about happiness regardless that are quite good but the author’s always go to far

I went into this little book with my own beliefs and skepticism, but the main aspects of Zen that are dealt with here are actually logical and relevant. Reading this gave me a lot of relief, and I already feel as though my attitude has begun to change. I did question some of the ideas regarding metaphysics and "the Universe" and could've done without the references to the author's other books and programs, but the most important parts are certainly compatible with anyone's life. This book is very short, simple, and to the point, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

A quick read, smaller than I thought it was going to be but it was a nice book. Really refocused my thoughts to think more about how I am interacting with the universe and the words I am saying out loud, the thoughts that I’m thinking, etc. I think it’s definitely a good book to pull you back in focus. Also I liked the bit about our cells and how they replicate the emotions we are currently thinking. Very intriguing!
