The Art of Simple Living: 100 Daily Practices from a Japanese Zen Monk for a Lifetime of Calm and Joy Kindle Edition

So simple. So inspiring. Right on the money.This book proves a page a day can change your life.Highly recommended.

There are 100 daily suggestions in this book for a Zen-like (simple living) life. The suggestion is on the left side page, and a brief story/explanation is on the right-hand page.I got this as a digital audiobook so I could listen to the page-a-day advice as I wind down at night. I loved it so much but...wanted to READ each idea. So then I bought it in print. I use both formats regularly--often in the same few minutes, one after the other, and usually on different suggestions.Some of the ideas are really not practical for most of us--especially not Zen Buddhism practitioners or monks/priests/nuns. Most, however, translate very well to a typical American's life.I find this book refreshing.

This book isnt something you digest in one sitting. Its the type you open and browse through when lost, unsettled or during quiet moments of contemplation. In this case, the Kindle version is perfect because you can take it with you.

I loved how simple this book was to read. And the lessons that were offered in each chapter. I've started putting some of these teachings into practice and it has helped me align to a meaningful lifestyle.

I originally got this book from the local library and loved it so much, I bought my own copy and also have purchased it as a gift for friends. I read a page or two every morning and it helps me keep a positive perspective throughout the day.

Like a lot of folks we get pretty busy or focused on different issues in our lives. This little book had page after page of things to think about that might help with some of those issues or just remind you of really important things.I will leave it out, once I get it back from my friend, and refer to it occasionally to rebalance.

Best book I've ever purchased for my mom. She reads the book Daily

Do everything that you can to enjoy life. Make the most out of opportunities. Life happens. It is now you handle it that counts.

The Art of simple living is for daily dipping into . Simple yet profound messages in every page.

There wasn’t enough new in this book to justify its cost. I ended up feeling ripped off.

Are you having difficulties in your life? This book will help you. It is all about common sense and stability in your thoughts and actions.
