I was initially hesitant when I read the title of this book, "Zen & the Art of Intimacy." Being unmarried and deeply involved in the Christian faith, I wasn't sure what I would find. However, I was extremely pleased with the practical meditation tips that it provided. I actually used what I learned to help me get over the stress during my Law School Admissions Test - it helped me get a better score.

I highly recommend this book, especially if you struggle with self-doubt, frustrating thoughts, or difficulties getting close to others.
