Tend the zen garden of your mind with three different types of Japanese logic puzzles. This book features three different types of elegant, handcrafted Japanese logic puzzles from Nikoli: masyu, yajilin, and suraromu (also called "slalom")--90 puzzles in all. The choice of puzzle types was inspired by the image of raking a zen garden, as each involves drawing a long, winding path. Like sudoku, the puzzles have simple-to-understand rules, and solvers will be able to ease into the book with plenty of easy- and medium-difficulty puzzles.

Live life more fully and enjoy the present moment with mindfulness practices for cultivating deeper mind-body awareness—from legendary Zen Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh. We can’t heal with our minds alone. Thinking can be something productive and creative, but without integrating body and mind, much of our thinking is useless and unproductive. In Peace of Mind, Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that integrating body and mind is the only way to be fully alive in each moment, without getting lost in our thoughts while walking, cooking, driving, and going about our everyday lives. Only by cultivating a mindful body and an embodied mind can we be fully alive. Bringing together ancient wisdom and contemporary thinking, Thich Nhat Hanh says it's like hardware and software—if you don't have both, you can't do anything. Peace of Mind provides a foundation for beginning mindfulness practices and understanding the principles of mind/body awareness. By learning how our physical body and mind are inseparable in creating our own perceptions and experiences we can begin to trust and nourish our ability to create well-being.

The Peaceful Mind:Finding Balance Within Your Emotions and Caring For Your Mental Health, and Recreating Yourself from Within Andrew thinks that his life sucks. He has received three queries in the office in the past three months and another one could mean indefinite suspension. However, he does not know what to do. Everything just seems to be coming down on him at the same time. As he left the office that evening, he decided to take the LA Metro Rail heading home. Highlighting at the Union station near downtown, Andrew boarded a bus but stopped about five streets before his home. He then decided to take a walk the rest of the way. The thought of going home also did not sound appealing to Andrew. He is sure to meet a not-so cheerful wife who has lost her enthusiasm for everything. He couldn’t also stomach seeing their only child, Jason still in his deplorable state, health-wise. Life for Andrew and Janet has been so uneventful for the couple in the past four years now. A sick child whose condition seems to defy medical solution, Janet’s recent loss of job due to regular absenteeism to cater to their sick son and now Andrew’s ever-mounting problems at work. As he walked, Andrew assessed the current situation in his life. As a Sales Executive, the figures have not been looking so good in the past four months and the Marketing Manager can’t stand the situation anymore. Now, his job is on the line. “Phew! So what’s the way out of this whole mess?” Andrew asked himself! Part of Andrew’s story reflects a lot of people’s reality out there. And having a higher emotional intelligence can help you address some of the issues that make you feel like you are stuck in life.

Lama Yeshe on Buddhism: "Buddhism is not just about one or two small things; it is not some tiny philosophy. Lord Buddha explained the nature of every single phenomenon in the universe." On Mind: "At certain times, a silent mind is very important, but 'silent' does not mean closed. The silent mind is an alert, awakened mind; a mind seeking the nature of reality." On Meditation: "Meditation is the right medicine for the uncontrolled, undisciplined mind. Meditation is the way to perfect satisfaction. The uncontrolled mind is by nature sick; dissatisfaction is a form of mental illness. What's the right antidote to that? It's knowledge-wisdom; understanding the nature of psychological phenomena; knowing how the internal world functions."
