Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Shunryu Suzuki’s voice resonates with authenticity in 'Becoming Yourself.' His wisdom is presented without embellishment, making each teaching feel like a direct exchange. The pacing is deliberate and allows for deep reflection, especially during the more meditative passages. Peter Coyote’s narration adds an element of warmth and sincerity, complementing Suzuki's straightforward delivery perfectly. However, some segments could benefit from additional context or explanation to fully grasp the subtleties of his teachings. Despite this minor critique, this audiobook remains a powerful tool for those seeking personal growth through Zen principles.
