Szen Zone

Szen Zone contains lighthearted and positive narrative on life and its possibilities, with stories that cover the gamut from interesting to profound. The general overarching theme has been on change and all of the aspects of it - Creating, surviving, and managing change with the goal to recognize the power we have to become what we choose, both when we're feeling in control and how to manage when we're not in control.

In terms of how to go about reading this book, it is up to you. Open it anywhere and find a short story that may make your day or make you think. My own copy has dog-ears, post-it notes, and sections highlighted and underlined. I find it useful to review key ideas that remind me that change is constant and so is life and that our perspective makes a difference in how all of it unfolds.

The Szen Zone focuses on identifying the lift-off point for creating positive change. Although everyone is different and it's a very individual and sometimes internalized process, the principles in this book can help you establish the context and right frame of mind to embrace and manage change. After many years of professionally helping individuals and companies navigate change, I've observed how some changes seem to take forever while unforeseen change can come right at you and in an instant move your world.

To that end, wherever you may find yourself at this moment, you will find an insight or example in this book to help you change course and take charge.
