Summary

Each morning most of us will spend about 10 minutes in the shower, 10 minutes making and eating breakfast but no time at all clearing our minds. Ten to Zen is a simple, effective and fuss-free guide to help you start your day in the right headspace to prepare for the challenges it may bring. 

Ten to Zen uses a combination of four therapeutic models - mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, psychotherapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy - in a simple, easy-to-implement programme.

You will learn:

  • How to settle your mind quickly
  • How to focus and retrain your brain on dealing with stress
  • How to restructure unhelpful patterns of thinking 
  • How to develop ways of communicating that are more effective

Ten to Zen was developed by Owen O'Kane to encourage new principles for living based on his experience as a psychotherapist and his many years of caring for the dying in the field of palliative care, which has hugely influenced how he works and views life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

Embrace this book.

I’m a middle aged man in forties and have been going through some very hard times. Outwardly you might say I’m successful with a good job, a beautiful family and all the material things that go with. But I’ve lived with acute anxiety my whole life and recently that has tipped into serious suicidal depression. This book has changed my life. It’s given me a new perspective and the tools to help myself and my family. It’s not the only thing I’m doing to help remedy my problems but this book has been a massive part of me being able to face the day with calmness and positivity. I was- in the past - something of a sceptic of this kind of thing. I am no longer. If you’ve been feeling like I have it’s definitely worth a try.

Brilliant !!! Unexpected pearl.

I’m going to say big thanks to the Author - for this brilliant manual / blue print.

This is probably the best book I’ve ever listened to on Audible.
Definitely in my top 5 list.
And I’m listening a lot.

It’s simple, not pretentious but very deep and explains few practical steps to calm down and get perspective on our life.

Thank you Owen !!!

Straight talking & accessible

This is well worth having, and revisiting.
I usually struggle to relate or want to complete these types of book/audio book. This is both human and helpful. Highly recommend.

Deserves to be listened to again and again.

I enjoyed listening to one chapter a day and reflecting on what I have heard. I now pick out the longer chapters at random, and find a new deaths in each one whenever I hear and reflect on it. Thank you for producing this work.

Absolutely fantastic book, just what I needed

So so glad I came across this book. It has helped me hugely during a difficult time in my life. The voice of the author is easy to listen to which makes a lovely change. Can’t recommend this book enough, just taking the 10 minutes suggested daily, and following the mediation has flipped my world upside down.
If your in any doubt order this book, you won’t regret it.
