As Zen is of the moment and what is, Book of Szen celebrates what could be. “You can’t change the past, but you can change the present and ultimately your future,” says Gary. “Book of Szen encourages us to listen to our sometimes forgotten voice, a voice that yearns for a better life. It is an inspirational “why not” book.”

Book of Szen began as a series of short messages

with words of encouragement that Gary shared with colleagues in his company’s internal email newsletter. Over time the readership expanded beyond the original staff and clients at Szen Marketing to friends and associates. This evolved into writing original light-hearted, funny or motivational stories on a regular basis.

People would pass it along to others and its been quoted and posted on blogs around the world. Five years later it’s still going strong and the readership continues to grow. The encouragement from readers inspired Gary to compile his best writings into Book of Szen.

“The most common feedback I’ve received from readers over the years is that they felt that the book was speaking to them directly about exactly what they needed to hear at the time,” says Gary. Many of the stories are true or based on actual events. All of them are written to make you think, smile, and be inspired.
