Reviews

"This is an elegant and masterful application of basic ideas and practices from Zen--compassion, self-observation, emptiness, impermanence, satori--to all stages of a qualitative research project, even including a provocative 'eight-fold path' for research practice."
-- John M. Johnson, Arizona State University
