In this book, readers are introduced to the 'doodling' process of Zentangle - an art form that uses repetitive patterns with the notion of focus and relaxation to create striking works of art that anyone can achieve regardless of age or artistic ability. The best part about this art form is that all the reader needs to get started is a pen and paper. After an introduction to what Zentangle is, how it started and what the basic materials are, the author guides the reader through several patterns and methods for creating the art.,

Following examples of the basic patterns (enthusiasts call these tangles), the reader learns how to add colour to their pieces if they like, as well as fun ways to use the process in their art journals. Finally, an inspiring section of photos showing examples of Zentangle art being worked on surfaces other than paper (shoes, walls, a car) that demonstrate the possibilities of how far to take the process.
