Zen Habits: Mastering the Art of Change - Paperback

Originally published in 2014 in a limited edition of 3,500 copies, Zen Habits is the masterwork of simplicity blogger and author Leo Babauta, who explains how to master the art of changing your life-how to get rid of unwanted habits, deal with major life events, overcome frustrations with others, and much more.In 2015, the author published a new, much-shortened version of the book in a compact, "just do this" format called Essential Zen Habits. As valuable as that is, it lacks the depth and detail you'll find in this, the original, full-length edition, now back in print for the first time since 2014.The author writes: "What you'll learn from this book isn't how to make yourself a better person-it's how to remove the things that get in your way. When we do that, we have happiness, peace. We no longer feel anxious, we don't need to procrastinate, we let go of anger and resentment, and we can fully live in this moment, enjoying it.

"With the skills of accepting discomfort and uncertainty, we'll learn to form mindful habits that will make us good at any change we want to make and learn the flexibility we need to stick to that change for the long term. We'll learn to deal with stress and anxiety, with frustration with ourselves and others, with procrastination and debt, and more. We'll become masters of change. This is the Zen Habits Method."
