Living Zen

Summary: What is Zen?
Review: A good description of what Zen is about. He uses analogies with scientific principles of chemistry and physics to help explain the teachings of Zen. I recommend it to the scientifically trained.

Summary: A jewel in my life
Review: Living Zen lives up to its title- a book 'alive' with 'presence and soul'. I would highly recommend this book to anyone curious to go beyond any particular religion or system. Linssen's ideas are not a nebulous form of zen 'instruction' but rather a concrete expression of the connection between physics, science, psychology, biology. This book is the most 'complete' book I have ever read.

Summary: The best book on Zen I ever read
Review: This is the most helpful, complete, and well-written book on Zen I have ever read. I first read it a couple of months ago, and I continually return to it to re-read chapters, gaining deeper levels of understanding.
