Book Reviews of Zennis

Book Review: Guaranteed to increase your enjoyment of the Game.
Summary: 5 Stars

Years ago I read a book called the Inner Game of Tennis. I thought I would read it again to help me at the Table Tennis Club. As I was reviewing that book on Amazon, one reviewer suggested this Zennis book instead. I went for it and ended up absolutely loving Zennis. I was getting very angry and frustrated before this book and now I enjoy the intense competition more than ever. My game has improved some, but my attitude, interest and enjoyment of the game has made drastic improvements. I think my game will improve even more as I get used to my new foundation. When I am in the Zennis Zone, my game is facinating, creative, interesting. 'Watching myself' make stunning and surprising shots becomes normal and almost comical. A huge improvement from my absolute frustration and ranting. I wouldn't let the Buddhism scare you. As an unashamed Christian I found only a sentence or two that would contradict or offend my faith. I actually prayed that God would help me with my anger and feel He led me to this book. Very easy to read not as easy to apply. It was right up my alley.
