What would "Zen dieting" look like? How can the Tao help with the stress of staying consistent, and sticking to a workout plan or diet without feeling deprived?
Both Zen Buddhism and the Tao focus on approaching life as it is, and not necessarily as you want it to be.
This short, easy-to-understand book offers a new approach to fitness. It advocates approaching all aspects of life with calm, assertive energy, whether that's your diet, your workouts, or the regular life stressors that come up in all our day-to-day lives. It argues that authenticity is the key to peace of mind, and that happiness comes not when we reach such and such a weight, but when we learn to focus on and enjoy the process, not the end goal.
This book includes:
• Zen Mind and lessons from child prodigies
• Zen Dieting: what it looks like, and how you can start with this mindset today
• Blocks to mental clarity
• Authenticity as the key to peace of mind
• Pure motivation and its opposite
• ...and much more.
