Shinzen Young is a pragmatic and engaging speaker who is able to articulate complex experiences in a comprehensive and relaxed way.

Shinzen is extremely experienced in both Western Science and Eastern Practice (meditation), and integrates the two extraordinarily.

Shinzen holds a very open dialogue and will never say a particular method is the only way, or tell the listener what to think. Instead he validates and discusses nearly all paths, uncovering potentially deeper meanings.

I found this book extremely enlightening and insightful.

Enjoy!

I highly recommend this!
