The Big Bamboozle: How We Are Conned Out of the Life We Want

by Cheri Huber, Ashwini Narayanan

Zen techniques, from a renowned Zen teacher, to derive greater satisfaction from life

Are you making choices that are supposed to give you what you want but leave you feeling unfulfilled and disappointed? This new book is based on the Buddha's teachings and the practice of Zen, and breaks down the structures of this karmic process. Written in a humorous and lighthearted style, it illustrates through essays, stories, and examples what keeps us from choosing well-being, love, happiness, and joy as our life experience. In addition, the book contains a full year of practical exercises and nuggets of wisdom from those who have practiced with these teachings.

[Max Smirnoff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another masterpiece by Cheri Huber. One of the most profound books I ve read which is written in an such easy way. 🤓I read this book mindfully turning reading sessions into mediations. It is an antidote against all negative conditioning of an ego. On practical level, reading this book mindfully helped manage migraines, anxiety, self-worth, self-acceptance and multitude of phobias. It was like taking a pill 💊. Cheri Hubers books have such a powerful positive effect on me. To you who reads this review I wish all the best, health and wealth.💚💜🧡 If you are in a difficult financial situation and can't afford to by the book. ( I am not joking I was in such situation😐) contact me.👻
