Awaken to the Possibilities The word "kensho" has been described as the "heart of Zen" and it literally means "awakening". Kensho: A Modern Awakening marks the culmination of Susan Steinbrecher's compelling investigation of some very remarkable people. Business owners, scientists, journalists, filmmakers, authors, philanthropists, and researchers weigh in on subjects that range from business and personal development to social change and environmental issues. Some of the fascinating interviewees include: James Van Praagh, Byron Katie, Marci Shimoff, Peggy McColl, Dr. John Hagelin, Leo Babauta, Dr. Fred Travis, David Houle, Tim Sanders, Judy Martin, Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, Noah Hutton, Dr. Marsha Lucas and Tony Schwartz. This book casts a golden light upon the shadow of fear, revealing the great potential for humanity in the 21st century.
