Zen: The Art of Simple Living by Shunmyō Masuno

3.0

---

easy to read and informative, more like something to pick up and read shortly when you are anxious or overwhelmed. it is full of metaphors to help you better understand the meaning behind each statement. this book is useful, but did not come at the right point in my life which reduces its impact on me. i will refer to it again at some point in the future, but for now, i'll give it a 3/5 stars because it was repetitive at parts, especially with the repeated mentionings of the different zazens (over half a dozen times).
