Let's meet San Lee, an innocent teenager who moves to a new city contrary to his will. When he invented a new past for himself (to some extent) things became funny, which made him very popular. In fact, his entire school began praising him a little (just a little) just because he gave the impression of being a reincarnated mystic (surprisingly) .
Who would like to make it stand out in junior high school days? Of course, San Lee, the main character of ZEN and the art of FAK, is not so. His insight into his own world seems to be unrealistic due to his age - there were so many things in San's heart - a real treat for readers is. His interest in girls students is really full of details, and he's funny associating his fury's anger with a constant lie to his classmates His criticism of humor and sarcasm is fun.
The art of ZEN and FAKING is unique. There are not many sermons in this book. A part about conscience and morality, and part about identity and trust. As a famous author of DRUMS, GIRLS & DANGEROUS PIE, MIDNIGHT DRIVER, Jordan Sonnenblick created a nice character in San. We can directly enter into a struggle, but we can deprive the place we did not expect. Although this may be a general story of "a newborn town in the town", Sonnenblick may cause adolescent anxiety, and the "thinking about thinking" way is a variety of things like basketball and girls' acquisition It helps to start things. When San receives a note including I Ching information ("changed after the road ended --- changed, you passed"), you will see that he improved, anyway. It is a lesson that will lead him to his real identity as he grows up.
My early exposure to my martial arts martial arts attracted interest in oriental philosophy and I soon studied Ellenwatz, Laos and research Yijing. However, I saw how the Zen influenced the Japanese deeply, and my heart was really in martial arts, it turned from Taoism to Zen (this is not a big deal). I have always existed from the mid-25th century until the mid-50s. Zen is satisfying me on many levels. It provides rich wisdom and scriptures that provide a proven path to self improvement, worthy goals to pursue, and infinite teaching materials for learning. I can recognize the change of my daily life.
