Zen Psychology Stein Gaarder

Don't read this book- if you don't want any change... Do you wonder why working on yourself does not work?! Finally, the psychological secret of Zen is revealed. Everyone in our culture suffers from the apparent disease (dis-ease) of being restless or dissatisfied to some degree or another. Never are we completely at ease or content in the moment of the here and now (ref.22). The necessary insight is provided by a happy union of ancient Eastern philosophy and Western psychology. The inadequacy of traditional belief systems combined with the shortcomings of an endless number of improvement techniques; all call for a new understanding which at the same time is a reunion with our original nature. "Who is asking?" reveals how we all are problem-makers intending to be problem-solvers and how this pathetic but dangerous game may come to an end.
