reviews
Too personal 
I liked the overall concept of the book. But Pax's issues/problems are a constant theme in the book. I understand the needs for examples, but at some point (at least to me) it became a self-fulling book that allowed the author to achieve happiness via his son's trails and tribulations. HOw does one make sense out of tragic death? I may have missed this part since after awhile I had to skim the book. I do wish you, your family well and I think that you are doing great work with passages, but please make it not about your issues. And truly understand the really meaning of Zen and now it just applies to you

Introduction to Zen for the Lay Person 
This is the perfect book for someone that has little or no understanding of Zen teachings. It's written in (mostly) layman's terms. The analogies go a long way in helping to grasp the concepts. The author does have a couple of self-serving mentions about his addictions programs, but I felt that was okay. After all, »it ain't bragging if you really done it«. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to take that first step into Zen thought. It's just the right size and it explains things in a manner that can be understood by most. My personal opinion is it will inspire you to dig deeper, both in yourself and in the universe, for enlightenment.

Small book, quick read, great content. 
Someone recommended this book to me and I'm glad I actually read it. It helps put things into perspective; it helps you see everything in a more positive light. You have to be open to the ideas, but I completely enjoyed it and ended up buying a few of the author's other books.

A Must Read Book !!!!
This book is a must read for everyone … learning how to live the best way possible is within our reach and not hard to do. It's the process that we choose that could destroy us.

»Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be« 
I was looking forward to learning a bit about Zen, but this book fell short. There is not much substance here. Abraham Lincoln said: »Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be«. The author tries to make a similar point in the first part of the book. There is merit to his thinking, but the problem is that the discussion is not interesting or insightful. The writing quality is also not very good. In another section the author discusses neurotransmitters, steroids and peptides. This should have been beyond the scope of this short book and is also beyond the author's expertise. Finally he also tries to promote his drug rehabilitation business and tout his successes which I do not believe is appropriate for authors to do in their books. Commercials should serve that purpose – not books that are sold. Skip this one and think about Lincoln's quote instead. It takes less time to read, it is to the point and free.
