Zen not as a meek mentality — zen as simple, strong, concentrated, powerful— without superfluous distractions, superfluous weight.
Mazda Miata
The Miata as a zen car — don’t add horsepower to add speed and fun. Simply subtract weight.
Tesla Model 3
The Model 3 as a zen car — the ultimate minimalist interior. Nothing superfluous.
iPhone
The iPhone as the ultimate zen technological tool so far — the soul of Steve Jobs and Kyoto zen simple aesthetics.
Simple austerity — Bauhaus style also via Jony Ive.
Zen powerlifting
The deadlift as the ultimate zen exercise — to concentrate all of your mental and physical power in one moment. No fear, no hesitation, no self-doubt.
Zen sketching
iPhone and Zen Brush 2 to quickly sketch compositions— forms, compositions, and gestures.
