“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:
