Und Zen Der Ver Four Dear potential zen reader, this book is well worth your time. It is a participation book, that is, the author compels you to reflect on your own experiences. On the one hand it is an easy read because it is a short tome, on the other hand it is challenging to exaime how you teach and conduct your life.

Perricone compellingly invites his reader to participate in an introspective journey that is designed to help the reader better know themselves and the professional path upon which they have embarked. In his book Zen and the Art of Public School Teaching, Mr
