if you are buddhist, or interested in buddhism, or just interested in making your life a bit better, i reccommend reading "sit down and shut up" by brad warner.

brad warner wrote the book "hardcore zen" a few years ago, it gave the basics of sitting zazen, what it meant, how to, etc. when i lived in japan, i met him and the guy is real, down to earth, knows his shit. the book changed my life.

he has a new book, "sit down and shut up" which goes a bit more in depth into what buddhism means, how we are "all connected" and how sitting zazen can change your life and make the world a better place. the book reads like he is talking to you, not dry at all. it's interesting, well written, and even if you aren't buddhist, you can learn something that will apply to you.

great book, totally worth it.
