Short Zen Stories for the Modern World

What if peace isn't found by escaping the world, but by learning to live in it differently?

This isn't just a book of stories.
It's a compass. A quiet companion to help you return to center amid digital overload, work pressure, and everyday anxiety.

Through brief Zen-inspired tales, this book invites you to transform how you relate to stress, overthinking, and self-demand.
Each chapter weaves together:

✓ A short story with a modern-day moral
✓ Guided reflections to shift your perspective
✓ Simple, science-based mindfulness practices
✓ Poetic rituals to ground presence in daily life

You'll also find journal space, mandalas to color, and extra resources to help you cultivate calm through ink, silence, and intention.

No meditation background required.
This book is for real people with real lives-those who aren't seeking perfect theories, but meaningful tools for presence.

This book isn't a theory. It's a practice.
It isn't an answer. It's a mirror.

And like any well-placed mirror, it might show you that you already have what you're looking for: presence, compassion, clarity.

Perfect for you if:
- You're always rushing and want guilt-free pauses
- You struggle to disconnect from your phone, job, or thoughts
- You love short, soothing stories that gently shift your mindset
- You value the art of simplicity: breathing, noticing, being

Peace isn't escape.
Peace is awakening.
And that awakening can begin today-with just one page.
