This book is a guide to opening up our lives to the benefits of Zen in a way that works for us today. It introduces a different way of thinking about the world, based on the key ideas of Buddhism, and offers practical support and guidance through lessons in meditation and other exercises.

The Little Book of Zen reminds us to live mindfully in the here and now and embrace life to its fullest. After all, every day is a good day, if we let it be.


Zen is in essence both very simple and immensely complex. It is a state of mind by which we approach all our decisions, our actions, our relationships and our feelings. Zen is life: and life, done right, is Zen.

Featuring practical exercises, enlightening stories and profound ideas to sit with for a while, The Little Book of Zen is a guide to using the tools and principles of Zen to make our lives better, simpler and easier.
