ColleenChesebro | Jan 2, 2018 |   Chapter 1 – overcoming obstacles that are holding you back – in life, at work, with others. Chapter 2 – tips for making changes, using your time better. Chapter 3 – the past & letting go. Chapter 4 – living in the present Chapter 5 – creating the future Chapter 6 – knowledge is power Chapter 7 – taking chances Chapter 8 – let go of expectations and free yourself Each chapter has short stories that convey the topic, often in a light-hearted way, plus strategies relating to both your personal and work life. A couple of my favourite suggestions were: “Create positive change. First imagine the change then take steps towards it. Above all be in the moment and appreciate what is happening this very second.” “Unplug, unwind and underachieve for awhile – take a mental vacation.” This is not a book to be read cover to cover in one sitting but should be taken out and read a little at a time. Pick a story or topic that matches your mood or predicament at that time, read through the strategies and take action to make your life what you want it to be.

From the author of The Book of Szen - Stories and Inspiration for a Changing World, now his newest work. Whereas ZEN is of the moment and what is, SZEN celebrates what could be. The SZEN ZONE - Reaching a State of Positive Change contains lighthearted and positive narrative on life and its possibilities, with stories that cover the gamut from interesting to profound. The general overarching theme is on change and all of the aspects of it - Creating, surviving, and managing change with the goal to recognize the power we have to become what we choose, both when we're feeling in control and how to mange when we're not in control. The SZEN ZONE focuses on identifying the lift-off point for creating positive change. Although everyone is different and it's a very individual and sometimes internalized process, the principles in this book can help you establish the context and right frame of mind to embrace and manage change. After many years of professionally helping individuals and companies navigate change, I've observed how some changes seem to take forever while unforeseen change can come right at you and in an instant move your world. Wherever you may find yourself at this moment, you will find an insight or example in this book to help you change course and take charge.

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."
