Tart common sense. That's the trademark style of Charlotte Joko Beck--offered here on Living Everyday Zen to help you realize the fruits of your sitting practice in every aspect of your daily life.

Living Everyday Zen Reviews

  • Martyn

    The message of this audio book could be summed up as "Zen practice is important. I'm not sure what the results will be. Hope it works out for you." And all this delivered in a strangely patronizing tone (she is actually quite rude to some of the students on here, who have questions for her).

    I understand that a book about Zen is an oxymoron at best but usually there is something to digest; this though was rambling and pointless. My advice would be to edit out all the pauses and irrelevancies and get it down to a tight disc and a half (from three) - then the message would at least be sharper.

    La millor explicació del que és la pràctica zen i quin paper juga la meditació en ella

  • Charles Sisson

    There are some interesting ideas in very accessible language in this book.
