worthwhile listening experience.

In many ways this book makes sense , a narrator you can listen to all day long.

Wow

Just wow.... this book is amazing. Zen Jungle have done a fantastic job of explaining ‘what makes us us’ and how to make positive changes and this is done in an easy to understand way, even for those that may never have dipped their toes onto the spiritual arena. I have many times, and I have found a plethora of information, all fascinating and all with a very truth like feel... but not always so easy to translate into everyday living. Or understandable in connection to us and how we feel we fit into life/the universe or don’t, which is more accurate in current times.

Anyway, this book does all that and more. I loved it and am about to listen to it again. Also absolutely loved the narration too, well done Graham and well done to all the Zen team that had a hand in writing this wonderful book. I shall continue to recommend to others because the world would be a better place if everyone lived as this book recommends.

OUTSTANDING - POTENTIALLY THE GREATEST BOOK I’VE EVER READ

OUTSTANDING - POTENTIALLY THE GREATEST BOOK I’VE EVER READ

This book has come to me after almost 52 years of life and after 7 years of intense self realisation study.

After my first mid life crisis I realised that I needed to stop what I was doing and find out what the hell was going on?

That is when I made my first steps to journey within.

This led me towards my 2nd mid life crisis where getting to know myself turned into a full scale psychological war inside my mind.

I practiced mindfulness, meditation, studied self realisation fellowship written by my Guru Paramahansa Yogananda.

These Lessons’s introduced me to spiritual religious & scientific teachings about will, desire, breathing, energisation, Kriya yoga and gave me the strength to control my thoughts and aim towards becoming one. (Whatever that meant?)

I researched more ways including Buddhism, other religions, fitness & diet routines and dived in head first into the world of the psychology & chemistry of our mind & bodies.

Whilst being a percussionist entertainer i researched vibration & frequencies leading me deep into Astro physics and astrology - becoming fully emerged in the oneness and greatness of the Universe.

I developed tools using mantras and prayer to bring me into a state of peace love happiness & gratitude.

I sacrificed investing in everyone else and dedicated my life into investing in myself.

I retrained, I started a new career, I studied a variety of other methods in order to understand myself better and attempt to reach enlightenment or just a simple state of acceptance.

The most recent one being transformational breath sessions.

I have come a very long way only to find myself feeling completely lost, alone, confused, in a state of avoidance and dissatisfaction of the world to the point of truly wishing I was no longer here even though I was in my own company, very happy with my spiritual awakening wondering if I was heading for a third mental breakdown as i fell into the ego mind trap of over thinking everything again!

The Zen Jungle has just filled in all the little gaps to my 51 year scrambled jigsaw puzzle of a life and I am feeling like I am now finally ready to live life to the fullest once again.

Only this time with the fullest conscious awareness and stable vibrations of peace love happiness & gratitude as my enlightened soul mates and not my over inflated, verbally abusive, manipulating, greedy, controlling ego mind who with all his best efforts to keep us alive was actually leading us to certain death and destruction.

Thank you Zen Jungle for literally writing a book about my entire life and saving me from spending years doing the same.

I cannot wait to come meet as many tuning forks as I can when your retreat opens.

Thank you to my soul sister Elizabeth for introducing this book to me.

Eternally grateful.

All my love & positive blessings

more new age than zen

Zen is very pop like yoga and crystal therapy. So this book isn't really Zen Buddhism. The Buddha is hardly mentioned. it is more like a new agey sort of book about controlling thoughts, living in the moment, and joining the cult to get happy. A beginners mind will probably get blown away by all these first year philosophical epistemology ideas, like being blown away by optical illusions you haven't come across before but most people have.

Essential reading for everybody!

This book is an absolute must read/listen. I have the audiobook version and have listened to literally hundreds of books over the years and there have only been 3 books that when I completed them I instantly listened to them again. The first was 'The power of now' by the beautiful @eckharttolle, the second was 'Cant hurt me' by the absolutely incredible Human being that is @davidgoggins and third and the one that most surprised me (simply because I wasn't expecting much) wass 'the holistic masterclass' by @zen_jungle.... It truly is an incredible eye opening book. Just over a year ago I had a breakdown which I now realise was actually a spirtual awakening (that's another story for another time but it was a terrifying yet completely liberating, life changing identity sabotage which has resulted in me being a far more peaceful person) and whilst reading this book I had several what I would call 'mini awakenings' where I could literally feel a shift in my consciousness, awesome moments of complete realisation of 'what is' it's a book that should become an essential part of your journey, no matter what stage of it you are at 🙏🏻

Unoriginal idea

Could not finish, argument lacks substance and insight to real world. Highly contradictory advice and advice cannot be utilised in the real world. Very unimpressed given the hype. Cannot even finish, low-key want my money back
