THE ZEN OF R2-D2

Ancient Wisdom from a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Matthew Bortolin

Did you ever wonder why R2-D2 is

  • always calm and cool under pressure,
  • the key to the rebellion’s survival, and
  • the one who never fails to save the day?

Could it be because he’s secretly a Zen master?

Discover your inner R2—and the truth about who you really are! 

This delightful and illuminating romp unfolds in the form of a fictional dialogue between the author—a die-hard Star Wars devotee with a deep connection to Zen—and two cosplayers dressed as C-3PO and R2-D2 who insist on being called by their character names. Along the way, you’ll come to see what everyone’s favorite astromech can teach us about peace, happiness, and life’s true meaning.
