Book Title: Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

Author: Shunryu Suzuki

Selection Statement:

As the world around us becomes increasingly filled with information, distraction, and complexity, Suzuki’s text is a reminder to approach each new moment as a “beginner,” because, in his words, “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.”
