Equally at home in both traditions, he speaks with penetrating wisdom that cuts through the various forms of self-delusion that emerge along path of personal growth. This collection of short essays on well known koans has a direct, simple and uncontrived quality to it that points the reader in the right direction with the same elegance as a timeless haiku. There is not a false note here.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2013<strong>Jeremy D. Safran, Ph.D.<\/strong>, author of <strong>Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Therapies<\/strong> and editor of <strong>Psychoanalysis and Buddhism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is no mere psychologization of koan practice. Rather, Magid seeks to provide a glimpse into the mind of the koan by exposing and addressing the psychological issues that impede our view. Very revealing.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2013<strong>Mark Unno<\/strong>, East Asian Buddhism, University of Oregon<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Magid&#8217;s inspiring book, Nothing is Hidden, is a warmly human and truly original guide to Zen practice which authenticates koan Zen in Western words and lifestyle. Rather than imitating an ancient Asian tradition, the book uses modern psychological insight to illuminate such mysteries as brilliant spiritual teachers who go astray, koans that perplex and our own desire to run away from suffering. This book will make your spiritual practice more intimate, more playful and more rewarding.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2013<strong>Grace Schireson<\/strong>, author of <strong>Zen Women<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Amazon link to Nothing is Hidden: The Psychology of Zen Koans\" href=\"www.amazon.com\/Nothing-Is-Hidden-Psychology-Koans\/dp\/1614290822\/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1374500141&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=Barry+Magid\">www.amazon.com\/Nothing-Is-Hidden-Psychology-Koans\/dp\/1614290822\/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1374500141&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=Barry+Magid<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/barrymagid.jpg\" alt=\"barrymagid\" width=\"187\" height=\"242\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-244\" \/><strong>Ending the Pursuit of Happiness (Audio Book Version)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Amazon link to Ending the Pursuit of Happiness\" href=\"www.amazon.com\/Ending-Pursuit-Happiness-Zen-Guide\/dp\/B00E3A13HM\/ref=sr_1_18?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1374500558&amp;sr=1-18&amp;keywords=Barry+Magid\">www.amazon.com\/Ending-Pursuit-Happiness-Zen-Guide\/dp\/B00E3A13HM\/ref=sr_1_18?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1374500558&amp;sr=1-18&amp;keywords=Barry+Magid<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\">Barry Magid<br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"&#x6d;&#97;i&#x6c;&#116;o&#x3a;&#111;r&#x64;&#x69;&#110;&#x61;&#x72;&#121;m&#x69;&#110;d&#x40;&#109;i&#x6e;&#x64;&#115;&#x70;&#x72;&#105;n&#x67;&#46;c&#x6f;&#109;\">&#x6f;&#114;d&#x69;&#x6e;&#97;r&#x79;&#x6d;&#105;n&#x64;&#x40;&#109;i&#x6e;&#x64;&#115;p&#x72;&#105;&#110;g&#x2e;&#99;o&#x6d;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barry Magid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":246,"menu_order":4,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"issuem_issue":[3],"issuem_issue_categories":[],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"class_list":["post-241","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","issuem_issue-bookshelf-special-edition-august-2013"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
