What Is Book "The Zen of Book Authoring" About?

A Brief Description of The Zen of Book Authoring from Its Author's Voice description Dear Blogspot Community, Happy Sunday, Memoir writing and reading have always been my interests, stimulating my cognitions and emotions. I have written many articles and read many memoir books and stories. I also taught memoir writing as a subject and shared my method in stories like this. Last year, a publisher approached me and inspired me to write my memoirs. The idea was compelling, and I agreed to do that. However, I didn't know how to distill thousands of journal pages, which I turned into a manuscript. Considering my workload and other writing, editing, and publishing commitments, I needed at least four months to achieve this goal. As a good habit, I trained my brain and mind to write expressively every day about my thoughts, feelings, moods, achievements, and progress with ups and downs. This habit has helped me write over 40 books. Expressive writing has been healing and has also made me more creative and productive. The challenge is publishing my self-talks and the inner world to make sense for others, which is a challenging task. Therefore, this new project is taking more time than my other writing projects. I said I can't do it before September 2025, and they said that's fine, honoring my workload. However, the publisher asked me to define the first part of the book and create a description as they wanted to create a preorder for 30 September 2025 and create visibility for it. They believe that many readers are interested in memoirs, and they think I have an interesting background, and my writing memoirs could be helpful to aspiring book authors. I named the book The Zen of Book Authoring. Some alpha (early) readers of the book asked the reason behind this name. They found it a catchy title, and they like the subtitle too. The subtitle is "Write with Purpose, Teach with Clarity, and Earn with Integrity," which explains the purpose of the book at a high level. I told them I named this book The Zen of Book Authoring because writing a meaningful book is not just about words on a page but about cultivating presence, discipline, clarity, and compassion with every sentence. Our books open a window for readers to our inner world, and this requires courage and humility. For decades, I treated writing as both a practice and a spiritual growth path that required inner stillness as much as outward structure, with the power of my technological and scientific background. In this context, Zen does not refer to a religion or a strict philosophy but to a state of mind where distractions fade, focus sharpens, and creativity flows with less resistance from the ego and more performance in a higher self with metacognition. This book reflects my mindset toward authorship-not rushing toward a finish line because of tangible benefits but walking mindfully with purpose, humility, and joy toward intangible benefits in every chapter I draft. I included several characters from my primary school teacher to my doctoral thesis supervisor, neuroscientist Benjamin, who decided to be a mystic. These inspiring characters left a significant impression on my psyche and contributed to my growth as a book author. I also added characters like a Zen Master friend, Brendon, whom I introduced in a story. In his earlier years, as a sales executive, he taught me the marketing and sales aspects of my books, which were my weak points. Ironically, while I move towards marketing, Brendon moved to the spiritual domain. Where to buy the Zen of Book Authoring? It is available in many bookstores.
