<br/><br/>A technique for living -- What is the "self" you value? -- Shake off the burden of hopes and dreams -- Don't be swayed by emotions -- Live life to<br/>the full while looking death in the face 
<br/><br/> "Zen monk Jikisai Minami takes the things we are supposed to strive for and turns them on their head. The [38] short, thought-provoking<br/>essays in this book are divided into four chapters about our sense of self, our hopes and dreams, our personal relationships and how to face<br/>death. Each essay begins with a deliberately controversial point of view to help us look at life's problems through fresh eyes."
