Book Review

“Krishna, Buddha and Lao Tzu Have a Coffee with You” by authors Jana Capri & Charan Díaz Arquillo, brings the timeless teachings of three great sages into the rhythm of modern life with remarkable warmth and clarity. Jana Capri and Charan Díaz imagine these wise figures sitting across from you, offering guidance for today’s challenges while staying true to their original philosophies. The result is a book that feels both insightful and inviting, making ancient wisdom accessible to anyone seeking a calmer, more grounded way forward.

Each chapter is thoughtfully structured, presenting key teachings from Buddhist, Hindu, and Taoist traditions side by side. This format highlights the shared threads of compassion, self-awareness, and inner balance that run across cultures. After every chapter, the authors include a dedicated space for readers to jot down reflections, personal insights, and questions—turning the book into a living companion rather than a passive read. This built-in journaling element encourages slow thinking, deeper engagement, and meaningful self-discovery.

By creating room for readers to absorb, reflect, and respond to these ideas, it becomes not just a guide but a gentle tool for ongoing growth and clarity.
