Ray Brooks sets out on a journey of self discovery after hearing a Shakuhachi (Zen flute) being played by a monk in the grounds of a Japanese monastery where he was attending a three day retreat as a "zen tourist". Having endured a less than satisfactory existence up that point, Mr Brooks knew something was missing from his life, but didn't know what or how to find it. His journey on the road to finding an authentic life is filled with moments of great insight, and the simple honesty of his story is inspirational. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; xvi, 269 pages; Signed by Author .
