A review by skyggsja
Zen: The Art of Simple Living by Shunmyō Masuno

informative inspiring mysterious fast-paced

3.5

i didn‘t enjoy myself reading this book but feel like I learned quite a bit. the author is a buddhist monk and speaks from his own experience. many things naturally refer directly to his religion so one has to adapt the info to their own life while reading the book. it‘s a very quick read because it mostly consists of a list of 100 things of how to bring more zen into your life, each of the 100 points comes with a small hand full of info, buddhist stories, analogies, stories of known people in buddhism,… all in all I found it really informative but also, right now I don‘t really have a concept of how to incorporate these things into my life. i think it‘s going to be a journey and I‘ll probably come back to this book again and again just to find some inspiration and guidance again
