Book Reviews of Ten Zen Seconds
Book Review: Zen? Not so much.
Summary: 2 Stars
Another 'get rich quick' rehash of obvious commonplace stuff by a guy who has written more books about how to be creative than God. Ironically, for a 'creativity coach', you'd think he'd've 'created' himself another topic, or at least something original to say. In this 'offering', Maisel's big secret is one slow ten second breath while saying a positive affirmation. He lists 12 and goes into a chapter for each (which we like to call 'padding'.) Ironically, in the chapters about the affirmations (he calls them 'incantations' because calling them an affirmation is like, so 1990s, I think) his little case studies/guinea pigs often state that this affirma--sorry, incantation didn't work for them as worded. So, he coaches, come up with your own! So...if I have to come up with my own...why did I buy this book again?
So, reader, here's the deal--breathe one ten-second breath while saying a positive affirmation. I just saved you $12. Oh, and if you're looking for ANYTHING zen in this book beyond the cover art, good luck!
