Publisher's Summary:
This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to incorporate the basic elements of Zen Buddhism into your life and reap the benefits that are bound to follow. Through Zen, you will be able to let go of those thoughts that are plaguing you, and reach a complete and utter peace of mind. Because the principles of Zen Buddhism affect the mind, the personal intellect can have a hard time grasping its concept. Therefore, this audio is meant for informational purposes, not as instructions. This book attempts to provide: the tools necessary to begin the study of the mind, and with the help of Zazen, see into one's own nature.
Many people will tell you that it is just a matter of sitting without goals, but the truth is far from it. This so called "sitting" is an entire journey of self-discovery, of an intimate, spiritual self-development. During which time, you train your mind to focus better and unveil your life's purpose. Zen Buddhism invites you to transform yourself spiritually and live in harmony with the world and the people around you. While many other religions can say the same, Zen Buddhism always strives for the purification of the mind. It urges you to face yourself, to face everything you like and dislike about who you are and what you do.
Buddhism also challenges you to change the fundamental precepts of the life you have been taught so far, regarding materialism, ambition, pride, greed, and revenge. Rather, it pushes you toward a general goodness of being. Wisdom, empathy, charity, tolerance, and discipline are encouraged to grow. The results of this spiritual cultivation are numerous. Most importantly, you will begin a journey that all humans strive for in this world: the attainment of a meaningful and joyful life, where you are focused and aware of every single moment.

A small book with a Buddhist feel but lacking in specifics
As an overview, it is not bad. As a promise ("A simple and easy Buddhism guide so you can find peace and happiness") the first, simple-and-easy half is fulfilled but the latter, find-inner-peace-and-happiness part, is woefully overstated. Still, there is some benefit in understanding that most schools of Buddhism, unlike the monolithic monotheisms of the West, has more to do with mindset than pounding dogma. The low price of this paperback and in particular the zero price of the Kindle download makes it hard to resist. Just don't expect too much.
ENJOYABLE!
Such a nice, concise, lively retelling of the story of the Buddha! The author does a good job of keeping Zen simple, which is as it should be. Zen is not supposed to be complex. Because people tend to think anything worthwhile should involve suffering, the idea of simplicity can be frustrating. But the author keeps everything very friendly and conversational. A fine introduction.
A very good brief introduction!
I got this book on Kindle Unlimited and I'm glad I did. It answered some of my basic questions I had on the subject of Zen. I found it to be helpful and easy to read.
Live a balanced life!
This book is very easy to comprehend. Great job by the author in distilling down the essentials of Buddhism in an easy to understand format. Thank you!
