The future will not change your life. And neither will the past. The fertile moment of now is the only place in time where change can be made, where dreams can be acted on, and where the decisions we make can change our world, the world. The general overarching theme focuses on change and all aspects of it: Creating change, surviving change and managing change with the goal of recognizing the power we have to become what we choose, both when we're in control and how to deal with it when we're not. Forward, by Barry KibrickI: If you need a quick mental pick-me-up, or a deep dive into your psychological underpinnings, Gary Szenderski gets you there with enlightened insights, wit, and charming prose. I am privileged to have Gary on my Emmy Award winning show on PBS, Between the Lines with Barry Kibrick. In the past 23 years I have been asked many times to write the forward to a book, or a blurb for an author to use. This is the first time I have accepted to do so. The reason is simple. Gary does not just give you useful information, and enriching knowledge, but helps take you down a path of true wisdom. His previous works, The Book of Szen and Szen Zone, are never out of reach as they reside on my desk and at the ready whenever I need a fresh perspective. His latest gem, Now and Szen will inhabit a space right beside them. Gary has the rare ability to make every chapter a story that resonates to the innermost degree and never fails to reach me on a personal level with a sense of humor, poignancy, and joy of discovery. I am confident, that like me, you too will not only read Gary's words but also feel them penetrate you in a way that sticks not only in your mind, but in your heart and soul. Pamper yourself with a fulfilling treat; after all, we all could use one Now and Szen.
