Quiet the Monkey Mind–33 Stories to Find Your Zen

Do you ever feel like your own thoughts are arguing with each other?
Does your mind jump from one idea to the next, never sitting still?

If so, this book was written for you.

The Sound of One Monkey invites you into a surprising journey—a path of paradox, presence, and playful insight.

At the heart of these 33 Zen stories are two travelers: a young monk and a mischievous monkey who talks too much. One seeks clarity. The other insists it already knows.

Together, they wander through temples, riddles, forests, and absurd questions that slowly begin to unravel the illusion of control.

If your mind often feels loud or restless or you find yourself searching for peace but getting distracted by your own thoughts, these stories will help you:

• Step back from your inner chatter (and laugh at it).
• Let go of the need to be “right” and feel the freedom of simply being.
• Find calm beneath the noise, even when clarity seems far away.
• Discover surprising wisdom hidden in humor, stillness, and not-knowing.

And somewhere along the way, you may find that the monkey… isn’t what you thought at all.

Inside, you’ll also find gentle reflection questions and exclusive bonuses to help deepen your experience—designed especially for beginners.

Even if you’ve read every Zen book on your shelf, or you don’t think Zen is “your thing," these stories will help you find what you're looking for: more peace.
