What if the peace you're searching for has been here all along?

My Zen, Your Zen invites you to question some of your most basic assumptions about yourself and the life you are living. How much of who you think you are is the result of conditioning? Do your thoughts merely describe your world-or help create the world you experience? Why does the mind give rise to suffering even when nothing is wrong in the present moment? And are you searching for peace while unknowingly reinforcing the very conditions that prevent you from experiencing it?

Drawing on more than forty years of experience as a clinical psychologist and a lifelong exploration of Zen and meditation, Robert A. Sommers brings psychology and Zen together, revealing the surprising ways our thoughts, beliefs, desires, memories, and expectations shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us.

Rather than asking you to accept a particular doctrine or philosophy, My Zen, Your Zen encourages you to consider what you have come to believe, look closely at your own experience, and discover what is true for yourself. Through concise, thought-provoking essays, Sommers explores meditation, mindfulness, the nature of the self, the causes of suffering, our search for happiness, and the possibility of living with greater awareness, freedom, and peace.

Whether you have practiced meditation for decades, are just beginning to explore Zen and mindfulness, or simply wonder whether there might be another way to understand yourself and your life, My Zen, Your Zen offers an accessible and unconventional invitation:

Don't believe Zen. Discover it.

Robert A. Sommers, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and longtime behavioral healthcare leader. He is also the author of My Zen, Your Zen: Poems, the companion volume to My Zen, Your Zen: Essays, as well as Memories of a Past Self and How I Became Who I Was.
