I got it for 386 RS. But Zen is about simplicity and one must be open-minded to perceive the hidden layers of wisdom.

Internally it’s perfect but it looks dirty from the outside. The media could not be loaded. Paying attention to small details in our environment, and even to mundane tasks, requires a focus that naturally reduces the ‘busyness’ of the mind. There is no long essays in this book, every lesson is written in a concise manner.

I followed one lesson mentioned in the book and it has changed me. The ideas expressed within present small changes that require very little (if any) material input, instead they encourage a shift in perception and habits. Was so insightful that I actually bought a second one so I can share it around with friends, I really couldn't recommend more.

Whilst the concepts are presented with a child-like simplicity, mastering the mind-set it advocates takes practise and dedication. Hardback, and an ideal size to drop into a bag or backpack, I read this as much while I’m out in the open as when I’m indoors.

. Bought a year ago and by far one of the best books on mindfulness I've ever read. amd there was no seal on book and even no proper packing exceot just amazon cover.

The Reading Room

now about the content; it’s pretty normal, it’s what the title says- ‘simple living’ it doesn’t have many ‘mindset-shifting’ content but it’s a 10/10 for adding beauty to ur bookshelf :D I have read over 60 books till now but this stands among the top five in my list just because of the art in this book is crafted from its hardcover to colourful pages to the small 2-3 pages chapters. Amazing book and highly recommend, especially for those who have panic attacks about their future.
