Zen Is Life: Susan Murphy is a Teacher Like No Other

Of all of the many books I have in my liberty, this is the one I'd grab if the house was on fire ... I'll go further ... Among the thousands of books I've read over the past 50+ years, this book is the one that I value beyond all others ... The lessons in this book are both difficult and easy ... They offer a life time of wisdom, guidance and inspiration ... Zen can be hard to get into but Susan Murphy takes you by the hand and with a compassionate heart flowing with poetic insights she opens your mind, your senses, your spirit and your entire being to the Zen of life

A Radical Shift In The Perspective Of Everything

A compleletely different take on how one could view anything in their life and be inspired by it. There were chapters in here that left me breathless! I've never read such simple observations interpreted into marvelous beauty. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to find joy in any and everything they encounter in their life.
