Zen. When it tells you to write, you write. When it tells you to feel, you feel. Time to call on the odds and stop the endless chatter in your head. Just look around us what can you see? What can you feel? We all have a story and poems are just a tiny frame, a picture, for the feelings living inside of us. We are all loafers from time to time. So I ask you, why not to be a Zen loafer and give it a listen, it will inspire you, it will command you to quieten your mind, and it will make your day to be Zen. Grab a copy, a cup of tea, and enjoy some easygoing wisdom.

This audiobook is a sort of introduction to Zen and the art of everyday living. The author reviews his observations at a new job place: a pet store. He finds it educational, conventional, and in alignment with his philosophy of Zen. 

Some appearances and experiences he has got while working at the store complement his wisdom and soul-searching. This book will be interesting to every Zen practitioner, regardless of whether he is a lay practitioner or a monk.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) was a Scottish social philosopher and a pioneer of political economy. One of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is the author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations, his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. It earned him an enormous reputation and would become one of the most influential works on economics ever published. Smith is widely cited as the father of modern economics and capitalism. Smith studied social philosophy at the University of Glasgow and the University of Oxford.
