If you like Everyday Zen by Joko Beck then you will love this audio CD. I'm just a bit confused by who Christina Becker is? Is this Joko's real name? The 3 CDs are Joko giving a talk - there's no one else involved. Anyway, great for bringing you back to your senses - highly recommended.

As good as the books
20 April 2008
Format:Audio CD
The compassion and clear message found in Nothing Special & Everyday Zen comes through in these CDs. There are differences. The books are organized into themes. The CDs are a set of talks with some Q&A, so you can hear her think and how she interacts with her students without editing. The books have more metaphors, like ice cubes and containers. The talks are more direct.
There are three and a half-hours of talks and Q&A. The questions were hard to hear in a car, but she is always easy to hear. Section titles:
CD 1. Concentration, Reactive emotion-thought, Core beliefs, False emotion and true emotion, Being zero, Elegance is refusal, Radiance, Our changing perception of radiance
CD 2. The simplicity of practice, The necessity of persistence, Life as beautiful and fierce, The no-self, Living in stillness, The important questions, The absolute and relative, True practice never stops, The importance of the vow, Patience
CD 3. Being in the box, Getting out of the box, Rapidly moving out of the box, Life as it is, Embracing failure, Developing steadiness, Being in practice for a lifetime, The three easy steps of practice, The key to freedom.

Joko is the reason that I practice Zen, sitting everyday.
1 Oct 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love both of her books and this CD set. I am Asian. I had been very aware of the Buddhist religion for a long time without practicing it until I read her first book "Everyday Zen". All of a sudden, this ancient religion/philosophy is very relevant to my everyday life. All she talks about in her books and this CD set are things that are happening in all of our lives right now. I knew all along the wisdom in Buddhist religion, but I just didn't know how I can use that in my daily life. How can I live it? Joko explains this better than any other books that I read. Knowing Zen intellectually is one thing, actually living it everyday of your life is something else. She teaches you, in her books and this CD set, how to live a better, happier and more satisfying life. This CD set has really good discussions. I would still recommend reading her first book, "Everyday Zen" first to get a good framework of Joko's approach to Zen.

Something Special: Living Zen
7 Jun 2008
Format:Audio CD
If you have a practice or are trying to start one, don't pass this up.
The first 10 minutes of the first talk provides all the instruction you need for at least your first few years of practice.
Thank you Joko, you're a gift!
