​THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
​This book has less to do with the mechanics of sitting and more to do with the realities of integrating Zen practice into real life. Shoshanna extends an empty and richly filled hand, offering both the sublime and the practical, which are one and the same in the Zen world. This is a highly recommended volume for beginners and new practitioners who are coming to the truth that "to find the answers to your life questions, you must look within. Nothing less will do. Nothing more is needed.

​Stress is crippling our society and anger is right there at the top of so much of our emotional stress nowadays, and until we treat the cause, we cannot ever hope to rid ourselves of the symptoms. The Anger Diet is highly recommended for anyone who wants to lose the weight of emotional negativity, disharmony and distress."

I STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS BOOK
TCM Reviews
​For myself, going through a period of change in my life, I found this book particularly helpful. It explained to me the importance of not only embracing change, but enjoying it in all of it's chaotic glory. I strongly suggest this book for anyone who's going through a divorce, lonely, looking for love, looking for enlightenment, or simply wanting to know themself and their surroundings better.
WELL WORTH READING
​Dr. Shoshanna challenges us to let go of fantasies, expectations, fears and anticipation so we can be fully present to life. Her wisdom is genuine and deeply considered. Her book is well worth reading.

Falling in love doesn't mean being blind or entering into fantasy," says Brenda Shoshanna, author of Zen and the Art of Falling in Love. "It means waking up out of darkened dreams to finally see the beauty that surrounds us." Sounds good!"

Publishers Weekly
Readers searching for broader meaning will revel in her ability to weave together the basic tenets of relationship psychology with theself-realization techniques of Zen practice. Nor is Shoshanna's advice limited to affairs of the heart; much of her counsel-to be loving and relevant to all aspects of life."
