The Essence of Zen by Mark Levon Byrne

Do you wish you could stay in the here and now, but find that your mind distracts you? Do you feel stuck in the past, ruminating on events or choices that you cannot change? Perhaps your mind races towards the future with dear and trepidation, providing a dramatic narrative for things that have not even happened!

The Essence of Zen: Get Back to Basics encourages us to stay wholly present with a neutral mindset that releases us from our worries, both real and imagined. By studying the history of Zen with its roots in Japan, the role of Zen in art, and its place in modern psychology, you will find a way to harness the essence of Zen in your everyday life, both simply and effectively.
