Cover of Zen in the Art of Archery

Very short, but worth it. While trying to speak of zen is like biting your teeth, this book does so in a roundabout and entertaining way by speaking of the art of archery. A few years ago, I was practicing the sport of precision marksmanship (I attained the badge of “expert marksman” and then stopped), and so I found this book very relatable. The marksman fundamentally aims at himself. However, I have a feeling that this book would resonate to even someone without any training in marksmanship, archery, or the like. I highly recommend it, it’s a beautiful experience.
