What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Bernie Glassman turned me on to Mr. YooWho, and I’m so glad he did. I dig YooWho’s encouragement to activate your funny! I figure we’re all clowns, we just forget it a lot of time. YooWho’s book is a great reminder to have fun and not take ourselves too seriously!”
—Jeff Bridges

“I’ve never found grimness to be a recipe for awakening. In contrast, laughter can be an on-ramp to freedom. Clown Your Zen reminds us of the light within lightness, and it offers delightful practices for cultivating what Moshe Cohen calls ‘sacred mischief’—loosening our grip, opening our hearts, and meeting this life with more freedom, playfulness, and joy.”
—Tara Brach, author Radical Acceptance and Radical Compassion

“Moshe is a living treasure of joy and courage. This book will bring you home to your natural laughter and wisdom. Read it and be free.”
—Roshi Joan Halifax, Abbot, Upaya Zen Center

“Clown Your Zen is a great ride on the bumper car of joy and laughter. It truly tickles your inner and outer funny!”
—Wavy Gravy

“Clown master Moshe Cohen, aka Mr. YooWho, is an intrepid guide into the realms of sacred mischief. In an often cruel and cynical world, he is a rare artist of wonder and delight. In this book, Moshe presents simple physical practices that cut through life’s heaviness and call forth moments of light and laughter in our everyday activities. Moshe generously shares the practices
and strategies he has honed throughout years of training, teaching, and performing. You could not be in better hands. May our laughter ripple throughout the universe and awaken us together!”
—Roshi Wendy Egyoku Nakao, Abbot Emerita, Zen Center of Los Angeles
