Overwhelmed by negative thoughts and anxiety, I sought out Zen teachings to help calm my mind. I found a concept that the ancient Masters coined about our permanently active, tireless and anxious mind, they called it "The Monkey Mind". The Masters found a way not to fight with this force that is in us, but rather they learned to connect with it and take advantage of its great energy to help us improve as people and be full beings. So I dedicated myself to compiling the Zen fables that study our monkey mind in a small book titled: "The Zen Wisdom and the Monkey Mind."
