Christine Edison’s Reviews > Smile at Strangers: And Other Lessons in the Art of Living Fearlessly > Status Update

The author takes karate as a way of shedding her insecurities and learning to live fearlessly. Part of her training involves meditating on traditional sayings called koans, and she shares her insights. I enjoyed the sense of humor, the author’s humility about her own journey, and hearing about the dojo where she trains and about her mentor, Sensei Suzanne.
