Ben's Reviews > Everyday Zen: Love & Work

Absolutely terrible. It can be summed up with, "Don't get mad. Be aware. The present is what is really important." But instead of just saying that, she has to wrap it up in all kinds of devotional nonsense. Horrible stories like one about this jerk who is waiting for the karma train or dharma train or something... so here he is sitting around like a jackass and people start dumping their kids on him and he ends up having a lot of work to do. So he works the rest of his life babysitting and when his life is nearly over he realizes he was on the karma/dharma/enlightenment train all along. Sound familiar? It's the plot to Planet of the Apes. Charlton Heston was looking for his home and it turns out he was on Earth the whole time, but he didn't realize it because it wasn't what he expected it to be. Rent Planet of the Apes, don't waste your time with this garbage.
