WISDOM PUBLICATIONS Nothing Is Hidden The Psychology of Zen Koans Barry Magid 224 pages | $16.95 9781614290827 | eBook 9781614291022 October 2013

“Sparkling and clear.”

—mark epstein, mD, author of The Trauma of Everyday Life n his latest offering, Barry magid uses the language of modern psychology and psychotherapy to illuminate one of Buddhism’s most powerful and often mysterious technologies: the Zen koan. Nothing Is Hidden explores many rich themes, including facing impermanence and the inevitability of change, working skillfully with desire and attachment, and discovering when “surrender and submission” can be liberating and when they shade into emotional bypassing.

From his perspective as a Zen teacher, magid tells us that enlightenment brings no secret teachings—because from the very beginning, nothing is hidden. meanwhile, from his perspective of the psychotherapist, he points out just how easily and how often unresolved conflicts lurk in the shadows cast by the light of realization or enlightenment—to the detriment of us all. incisive and inspiring, this is a book that will resonate for all explorers of inner lands.
