I first discovered Zen Habits by seeking out free content over a year or two ago, just doing as many searches I could think of on Google. It turned out to be one of the most important, influential discoveries I’ve made by doing such searches.

Zen Habits has provided me with a ton of inspiration, and it has helped me through some very difficult times, both creatively and personally. I actually plan to include a post about it, and Leo, on my own blog in my series on Free Culture artists. I thought I was the only Free Culture-supportor aware of his work; I’m glad to see someone beat me to spreading the word about him!

Leo Babuta delivers very high quality content, and his philosophy, while not specifically oriented at Free Culture as a movement, shares essentially the same goals. Much of the wisdom he shares is ancient stuff; you can find it in sources such as the Tao Te Ching. There is much said about warding off possessiveness and an unhealthy need for control beyond the scope of one’s own actions. Yet if you read that advice in any modern translation of the Tao Te Ching, you’ll find a copyright notice at the front of the book. At Zen Habits, you find the same kind of wisdom from a writer who practices what he preaches. It’s a beautiful thing.

Heard it — FANTASTIC!
