True Zen

This is extreme examination of fiction books. We take excerpts from popular novels (one page in length) from various chapters and we read them, trying to understand the writer's voice, writing structure, and more. Over time we'll have a clearer definition of how we do our analysis. This book will have notes every now and then. Enjoy! Oh, and if you were wondering, the main purpose of this is to learn how to write better fiction.

The Yielding Warrior offers a unique perspective on the intersection of meditative arts principles and life’s everyday challenges.

That’s why we’re unhappy. The key to happiness and success is to align your true sense of self with your goals in order to unlock your potential and love what you do.
