Daniel Rios began writing zēno, his first book, while on hiatus from his career in mental health. Daniel is a husband and a father of two teenagers.

"Writing this book took me on a journey. It helped me to heal, to see things more clearly and to appreciate this life in ways that I hadn't. It helped me realize that I want to use this time - this opportunity - to help others; to live consciously; to dream big. "
