description: Everyone knows that Dorothy got caught in a cyclone and landed in Oz, but who knew that the yellow brick road was really the path to enlightenment, and the adventures Dorothy encountered along the way were lessons in the search for self?Best-selling author Joey Green, a talk show regular for his unusual point of view of whipped cream as shampoo and pantyhose as a furniture polisher, takes a fresh new look at The Wizard of Oz. And he doesn't just see a classic movie, he sees "spiritual guidance".Like the bestseller The Tao of Pooh, this is a witty, whimsical, and surprisingly insightful introduction to Eastern philosophy. The Zen of Oz draws upon the symbolism of good and wicked witches, ruby slippers, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, to find, at a deeper level, ten spiritual lessons that are at the very heart of Zen consciousness.
