Here's how to live the Zen life... Deepen your spiritual practice with this inspiring series of guidebooks. Each chapter from Living the Zen Life opens beautifully with a thoughtful quote and is then followed by a passage to further your appreciation of the quote's message. Some chapters invite you into lightness and love while others cause you to pause and reflect. The stories, lessons, principles, and cartoons contained within all come from Alex's extensive Zen training. There is no particular organization to the themes, but all have the following underlying premise: We must all awaken beyond the voices in our heads and stay in conscious, compassionate awareness full time. From Center, we self-mentor ourselves to do what serves us, others, and Life the best. This practice is what Alex refers to as Living the Zen Life. Alex Mill is a Zen Life Coach and has been practicing and teaching Zen for nearly two decades. His writing evokes the inner principles required to end suffering and find freedom in this lifetime. Readers appreciate his clear, practical, down-to-earth, and FUN approach to teaching a somewhat austere and esoteric philosophy.
