MINDFUL ZEN HABITS: From Suffering to Happiness In 30 Days

This book may not REALLY deal about zen per se but it is an excellent book on practical living for the ordinary person. The author has obviously been through all the travails of daily life and offers realistic suggestions for the same. A good read!

"Mindful Zen Habits" by Marc Reklau and Manuel Villa is an invaluable companion for anyone seeking to enhance their daily routines and foster a more joyful existence. This dynamic duo draws upon their rich reservoir of insights and experiences to lay out a roadmap for cultivating mindful Zen habits, which have the power to revolutionize both your inner world and external actions. The book not only brims with wisdom but also presents it in a manner that is accessible and user-friendly.What truly sets this book apart is the pragmatic and feasible habits it introduces. As I delved into its pages, I was particularly drawn to the meditation, visualization, affirmation, reading, journaling, and exercise sections. These practices have played a pivotal role in my personal growth journey, elevating my self-assurance, concentration, and positivity.While I wholeheartedly endorse this book, I must acknowledge that it has a few minor flaws. Hence, I've bestowed it with four out of five stars. Some sections, initially, may appear somewhat challenging to grasp, and a handful of ideas might not feel entirely groundbreaking. Additionally, a touch of engagement and inspiration could elevate the reading experience. Incorporating more anecdotes and real-life examples, not just from the authors but also from individuals who've embraced these habits, would have further enriched the narrative.However, these critiques don't diminish the overall value of the book. My journey through "Mindful Zen Habits" was undeniably enlightening, and I gleaned significant insights. It is a source of motivation and enlightenment, illuminating the path toward mindful Zen habits. This book is highly recommended for those seeking a straightforward yet potent means of instigating positive life changes.

This is a perfect book for transforming one's self.. if you're serious about it... You feel lazy, lack of interest in anything that you do.. or if your life so boring then start reading this book each chapter a day for 30 days then you'll see yourself a Fully changed person... I needed one like this to avoid my lonely life it really shaped my life and me .. Loved reading it every day...Please note reading at one shot or in a day won't benefit you the purpose of reading it

Good to read. Following the principles are better.

I know I am being a little generous with these 3 stars even. This book is a simple and routing self-help book that asks you to wake up early, exercise, drink green tea, write a journal, practise gratitude and meditate. Not that these are not worthy habits. Just that these have been repeated on all self-help books a million times and there is nothing new from these authors except some sprinkling of platitudes. Also, there is not an iota of Zen anywhere in the book. Not sure why they decided to call this book 'Mindful Zen Habits', which I feel a bit misleading. Well, I maybe wrong, but if you have already read a bunch of self-help books and are practising the above habits, then you can safely skip this book. An OK read!

This book was an amazing companion for me in calming my thoughts 😌 and guiding them in a right direction 😊. Recommend for those who want to remind themselves that you can go through every situation if you direct your thoughts more structured way. It was a good and calm read. 😌

Best book for peace of mind
