Description
This book will teach you there are more than just emails, phonecalls, and urgent issues. What Zen teachers told us hundreds of years ago is still true today: we can say "No" and we have our lives in our own hands. Zen is not only for famous corporate leaders like Steve Jobs. It is for you. It is not for weekends. You can practice Zen at any time, even now, right this second.Table Of Content:IntroductionOn BuddhismWhy Zen Programming?Kizen And Other PracticesZen Is About YouNo EgoZen Is Hard WorkThe Other People

This book really helped me to relax and prioritize better. I'm a programmer at a small company with a lot of responsibility. I carry my thoughts about code everywhere -- to bed, to the shower, on my commute, to lunch, etc. This book helped me realize that I will be more productive if I give everything its own space.This isn't a book on Buddhism or religion. You can be of any religion (or none at all) and get full value from this book.The author is a German native speaker and, although the book is well-edited, there are little bits of wording here and there that are clearly not native English. This doesn't take away from the book, though.If you have more stress than you want, and you're a programmer (or anything technical), I recommend that you read this book.
