About the book

“Ordinary Wonder”

In this collection of teachings by Charlotte Joko Beck, one of the most influential Western-born Zen teachers, she explores our "core beliefs" - the hidden, negative convictions we hold about ourselves that direct our thoughts and behaviour and prevent us from experiencing life as it is. Wryly humorous and relatable, Beck uses powerfully clear language to show how our lives present us with daily opportunities to move from thinking to experiencing, from compulsivity to confidence, and from anguish to peace.
