Overview

Communication and relationship advice from well-respected Zen practitioners 

This is a Zen guide to the principles of compassionate communication. Communication is among the most common yet difficult challenges humans face. Effective communication is rarely a simple give-and-take of information because of interference from individual egos, whereby input is taken personally, judged, and reacted against. This book can be read and the principles put into effect by a general audience.

Reviews

"An articulate and inspiring rebuttal of the notion that deprivation is good for the soul or that to be spiritual one must give up the things of the world for the sake of some imagined ideal of purity, Sweet Zen is a truly enlightened and enlightening invitation to participate fully and joyfully in life."  —Midwest Book Review, on Sweet Zen
