THE ZEN GAME
(Soon to be released.)

How can anyone live a happy life in this busy, stressful, complicated world?

Everyday we have to deal with difficult, passive-aggressive people who want to prove us wrong, intimidate us, or push our buttons.  We know that we can’t change other people, but we can change how we deal with them.  Author, life coach, and motivational speaker, Nancy Koran has provided her clients and readers a unique and successful way of dealing with these “in your face,” “I’m better than you,” “I don’t give a damn” people.

The Zen Game provides optimal approaches for getting along with anybody and everybody.  The Zen Game relies upon the tenets of Zen’s Noble Eightfold Path to demonstrate proper decorum and decision making in order to reach and spread spiritual peace, respect, and happiness to all.

zen coverZen’s Noble Eightfold Path:

1.  Right view
2.  Right intention
3.  Right speech
4.  Right action
5.  Right livelihood
6.  Right effort
7.  Right mindfulness
8.  Right concentration

Are you getting the respect and appreciation you deserve in life?


Are you giving out to the world what you want to get back from it?


Are you practicing the qualities that lead to success and happiness?

In The Zen Game you will learn the beautiful and not-so-beautiful truths about how we treat each other and how our actions have a direct, as well as indirect, affect on everyone in the world.  In actuality, your life is a mirror for the way you treat people.  What you see and what you get from life is what you give it.  The tempo and flow of life is not something that just happens, but it is something that you can learn to control with your thoughts, words, and actions.

By practicing your Zen Game daily, and by living your life mindfully, you will become a magnet for positive people and positive experiences.

Everyone wants to be happy and successful in life, and this book shows you how.  It’s time to stop looking at life as a jungle and eliminate the dog-eat-dog attitude you have clung to in order to survive at work, while driving, or anytime when dealing with people.  With The Zen Game you will learn how to bring out the best in yourself, as well as others, and have a ball doing it!
