--Huffington Post
-Whether he knows it or not, The Dude's laissez-faire attitude has become a model for coping with life's complexities...[in] The Dude and the Zen Master, one gets the impression he or she is eavesdropping on an intimate conversation...It's more than chicken soup for the soul, [it's] cacciatore for the spirit, a winner's guide to optimal living--a manual on how to Dude-ify oneself and just abide, man.-
--Examiner.com (Cleveland)
-The Dude and the Zen Master is an exercise in likeability....[Bridges] is in rare form here....To know the Dude (and, by extension, Bridges' own meditational endgame) is to love him.-

-[A] good conversation between good friends...One of the unexpected treats of The Dude and the Zen Master is the insights into who Jeff Bridges is behind the Dude persona...touching remembrances of his parents, his reflections on life as a devoted family man, and his behind-the-scenes stories of movies he's worked on [and] profound little Zen observations and insights sprinkled throughout the book.-
--The Dudespaper
-The Dude and the Zen Master doesn't read like a traditional book at all--but rather riffs like a jam session....you'll feel as though you yourself sat in on the sessions with the dude behind the Dude in The Big Lebowski and Buddhist buddy, Bernie....And what's so cool is that the two of them manage to address many of life's profundities--relationships, politics, working, aging, living, dying--in this very funny and readable jam session.-
