If you get a copy of this book you will want to keep it for a while. It needs to be read slowly, contemplated, reread, and re-contemplated. I will share this book with friends but not my copy of it. It isn't Zen lite but a way to profit from Zen without becoming a monk.

Stephanie Russell does a wonderful job of making the reader feel empowered, capable & strong w/o using language that is dumbed down or simplistic. Written especially with women in mind (in my opinion), it's great to read one chapter or entry at a time while taking in a view of the outdoors & having a cup of coffee or tea. Very good for moments of quiet contemplation. I enjoyed it! I guess that's why I wanted to share it w/others!!!
