The Szen Zone is a collection of life lessons interwoven into short stories which lead the reader into the possibilities of change, and how making changes can open the doors to further growth. A self-help book in nature, it is written in a down to earth style that everyone can relate to.
The book is split into topics which then flow into each short story. At the end of each story, the author follows with his points to ponder. He then ends with a "Szenippit," a clever play on words with his last name. Each Szenippit is a quote that really hits home with the subject discussed.
For example, Chapter Four is called, "Living in the Present." One of my favorite quotes from the book is this:
"There is no perfect time, there is only this time, your best first chance. You know that you're as ready as you will ever become."
Each chapter and topic are geared at empowering us as individuals to create positive change in our lives. A detailed description of the five essential elements necessary to create positive changes is shared. They are, self-exploration; perspective; imagination; now and energy. The words create the acronym, S.P.I.N.E. which is a handy way to remember that it takes character to change and succeed in life.
It took me a couple of weeks to read the book because the subject matter really made me think about my own goals and ability to change. I weighed the possibilities and not only lived in the now, I also thought about what some of these positive changes could bring to me at this stage in my life.
It would be easy to read the book in its entirety, or split it into a topic at a time. I found myself highlighting and bookmarking many passages that spoke to me. This is the kind of book that I will refer to often. I liked the author's message of setting goals and allowing myself the freedom to make changes that will facilitate me reaching the completion of my goals.
Are you looking to make some positive changes in your life? Don't do it alone. Let the Szen Zone guide you down the path of self-discovery. Remember:
"Achievement is not only about reaching the goal; it's about setting the right goal to reach. We'll know we've set the right one when we can't wait to get there."
