One Saturday every month, I go to a bookstore to hang out, browse, drink green tea, and yeah, you guessed it, buy books. (I'm a wild and crazy guy!)

But hey, nobody ever said that learning, personal development, and the pursuit of "Zen-Zones" is cheap - let alone quick, or easy. It's not. But I look at the expense of time and money - as an investment, not a cost.Zen-Zones Are Good
