Not as someone who has something to teach, but as someone who shares what they discover along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach story is an invitation to pause for a moment: to take a moment without rushing, to breathe, and to let the meaning emerge on its own.\u003cbr\u003eSome stories will make you smile, others may touch you more deeply-all of them, in some way, remind us to return to the present moment to have a better life.\u003cbr\u003eThese stories taught me, one by one, to slow down. Not always on the first reading, not always easily. Over time, I realized that each one, in its own way, invited me to look inward with more lightness and less haste. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf any of these stories and comments stay with you for a while, if they make you smile, think, or breathe more deeply, then it was worth gathering these words in this book.\u003cbr\u003eThank you for offering a little of your most precious gift: your attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eZen Michael\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zen Michael\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798249516864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.13d","brand":"Zen Michael","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437685354751,"sku":"9798249516864","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_741c1566-dd3f-41c3-a69c-d09a4fdf24e5.jpg?v=1777163399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-i-learned-from-10-zen-michael-9798249516864","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
