About Us
INTRODUCING THE CITY "ZEN" MOVEMENT & CITY "ZEN" EBOOKS
The City "Zen" Movement is a burgeoning cultural and philosophical wave seeking to redefine and reflect upon the contemporary human experience in an increasingly complex, interconnected, and often absurd 21st-century world. Through a blend of insightful reflection and satirical humor, the movement encourages individuals to embrace a "post-citizenship" identity – one that transcends traditional national boundaries to acknowledge global interconnectedness, digital communities, and the pursuit of inner peace amidst urban chaos. City "Zen" eBooks serves as the primary digital conduit for this movement, offering free-to-access literary works that provide both profound commentary and much-needed light relief, fostering a community of digitally savvy, globally aware, and humorously reflective individuals.
Mission & Vision
The City "Zen" Movement's mission is to inspire, entertain, and provoke thought on the evolving nature of citizenship in the modern era. Our vision is a world where individuals can navigate the complexities of globalised life with a sense of perspective, humor, and a calm, "zen" approach to their ever-shifting identities. We aim to empower a new generation of "City 'Zens'" – individuals who are engaged with the world, yet unburdened by its incessant demands.
Core Philosophy
The movement is founded on the belief that humor and reflection are powerful tools for understanding ourselves and our place in the world. It acknowledges the inherent paradoxes of modernity – the simultaneous desire for connection and solitude, global reach and local belonging, technological advancement and natural simplicity. The "City 'Zen'" ethos suggests that true peace can be found not by escaping these paradoxes, but by embracing them with a knowing smile.
Target Audience
Our audience comprises digitally native individuals, urban dwellers, global citizens, and anyone experiencing the delightful dilemmas of modern life. They are thinkers, ponderers, and laughers who appreciate intelligent satire and fresh perspectives on what it means to belong (or not belong) in the 21st century.
