This was surprisingly boring for me.

And no, June, you were wrong, the fact that others were wrong too, won't justify what you did...

Zen: Az egyszerű élet művészete by Shunmyō Masuno

reflective fast-paced
I have mixed feelings about this one. Not everything resonated with me - some of it seems absurd - but still, I found some habits that might be good to try to implement in my life. 
Won't rate it with stars, I don't think a book like this can be put on that kind of scale.
