As a Christian I had never looked at Zen Training but I was curious. The Author states that "Zen Buddhism is not a religion. It's a practice, a way of living." That surprised me. As I read on I discovered it is a very disciplined training designed to make you more balanced, happier and healthier.I've listed some of the  benefits as stated in the book. I can see how we would all feel better and be better people, if we could achieve just a few of these results."Decreased stress, Decreased tensions, anxiety, and nervousness. Increased creativity and spontaneity. Improved work performance. Lowered blood pressure and blood lipid levels. Increased acceptance of oneself. Increased acceptance of others. Increased ability to overcome self-damaging behaviors like addictions. Greater intimacy with loved ones. Others become more attracted to the practitioner."Buy this book to find out like I did:(1)  What is its purpose? (2)  How does it work? (3)  Is it for me?
