About this title

Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Chuck Norris, renowned martial arts star of Walker, Texas Ranger, shares his own remarkable story and the lessons from Zen philosophy that have guided him along the way.

“This book is about what I’ve seen and understood by looking through Zen. It’s about my life and the lives of people I’ve known, about real-life experiences that are in some way related to Zen or that make a special kind of sense when looked at in Zen terms.”—Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris has spent a lifetime studying the martial arts, earning several black belts and world championships. In The Secret Power Within, Norris shares anecdotes about his own personal struggle and triumphs to explain how the ancient system of Zen—the core philosophy behind the martial arts—can help each of us achieve spiritual tranquility and self-confidence.

In this highly entertaining and inspiring account, Norris shows how Zen can be applicable to everyday situations, from the conference room to the living room:

• Winning by Losing: If you have nothing to prove, you have no need to fight.
• Complete the Wheel: How to balance your life to achieve success.
• Your Master, Your Art: To maintain self-respect you must respect the work you do, and do it as well as possible.
• My Way of Meditating: Norris’s personal technique for achieving tranquility under pressure.

The message is simple: There are no limits for the person who refuses to accept them.
