The long-awaited new book on the essence of Zen practice from the beloved author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

'Our way of sitting is for you to become yourself.'

Shunryu Suzuki was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the last century, who brought Zen philosophy to millions of people. In this book of teachings, many published for the first time, he shares simple, warm-hearted lessons on a practice that is fundamentally about becoming yourself. Filled with humour and insight, Becoming Yourself speaks directly to the newest beginners while also serving as a touchstone and a continual source of inspiration for even the most experienced practitioners and Zen masters.

Resonant, clear and brimming with insight, Becoming Yourself brings together a lifetime's wisdom in one remarkable volume.
