Recenzje

There s much to learn in this compact manual. . . . The title says it all. Men s Journal

I hope . . . that just having listened, I ll be automatically living a less anxious life. . . . Part of what kept me going was that [the audiobook reader] sounds a lot like Keanu Reeves. So, really, part of the appeal here is imagining Keanu and his soothing, sometimes erotic voice imparting life lessons. If that doesn t change me, will anything? Marshall Heyman, Vulture

Pithy, compassionate teachings . . . Engaging and familiar . . . For anyone in need of practical ideas to ease anxiety, look no further than Don t Worry.   The Japan Times

Advice on modern-day living that anyone could benefit from . . . [It] covers everything and anything that could be worrying you. South China Morning Post

Highly recommended . . . Pragmatic advice for simplifying life and reducing anxiety . . . Good for quick reference . . . Masuno s useful advice is particularly needed in recent times. Library Journal

Masuno s spare prose embodies his message. . . . [His] directness and wisdom make this worth a look. Publishers Weekly

An approachable yet flexible guide to making Zen practice a habit. Shelf Awareness
