The Daily Zen Book of Wisdom is a pocket guide to living more creatively, fully, and contentedly in the 21st-century. It serves as a readable antidote to the culturally-induced problems we face today, providing concise aphoristic advice for dealing with a chaotic world. Our attention spans are dwindling. We find ourselves distracted in nearly every waking moment, drawn in a million different directions by notifications, buzzes, calls and sensory stimulations of every kind. The Daily Zen Book of Wisdom caters to this short attention span but also serves as an easy and useful tool to curb its negative side-effects. Each page of the book is anchored by an aphorism, a guiding principle. These principles are broad and applicable to the life of the 21st-century’s globalized plugged-in citizen. This follows the tradition of great books in the Eastern canon: the Tao Te Ching, the I Ching, the Hagakure, and countless books of poetry, stories, and koans.
