Summary
Playing music should be as simple and natural as drawing a breath, yet most musicians are hindered by self-consciousness, apprehension, self-doubt, and stress. Before we can truly express our inner self, we must first learn to be at peace and overcome the distractions that can make performance difficult. Kenny's remarkable work deals directly with these hindrances, and presents ways to let our natural creative powers flow freely with minimal stress and effort.
Includes inspiring recordings of meditations designed to initiate positive thought. This book has become a favorite of many musicians who credit it with changing their lives!
"Effortless Mastery is a book that the world really needs. It was not written by a philosopher or an academic. Kenny Werner, is one of my favorite pianists I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and in my opinion one of the best pianists living on the planet. Kenny teaches that 'The joy of practicing is concentration. The joy of playing is liberation.' Effortless Mastery teaches the seeker how to achieve both at the highest levels. It also shows how to practice effectively, promoting real growth and how to play and perform free from fear and self-judgment. I highly recommend this book." (Quincy Jones)

Transcend the ego, play from a space of emptiness
This book reiterates a lot of eastern philosophies related to meditation and letting go of the need for validation. It has some good ideas related to music and some mediations to go along with it. Not necessarily the most in depth book but a nice short read to boost motivation to practise.

Worked out well on my tension
Author is narrator himself, so one can feel his sweet effortless presence (and groove!). Therefore, it was rather an experience than a manual book. Refreshing and timely experience.
