Owning It: Zen And The Art Of Facing Life

This illuminating handbook shows that Zen transcends time & place, imparting truths as valuable to entrepreneurs & homemakers as they are to monks & poets. Using a series of real-life koans -- modern stories that mirror traditional Zen parables -- Besserman shows how Zen techniques can help us resolve problems in our personal relationships, enhance our work lives, & find new dimensions of physical & emotional well-being. She blends spirituality & practicality as she shows how an understanding that everything just is can free us from empty myths & unlock the wonder in our everyday lives. Even longtime students of the discipline will find new insights in this book, where Besserman shares her vivid, humane vision of the Zen way.
