One hundred tips from the Japanese Sunmio Mazuno, a Buddhist monk and Zen master: How can we find peace? How can we rid ourselves of unnecessary material and emotional burdens? What does "I am too busy" mean in the modern world? What are the secrets of longevity? How can we enjoy every ordinary day? Why are human relationships so difficult? And how can we make them easier?

Simple advice for simple changes in our lives that can yield remarkable results. In Buddhism, we say "every day is a good day," meaning that whether good or bad things happen, each day is precious and unique; it will never come back. Its value is not defined by events or meetings, but by our very own mind.
