About the Author

Norma Wong, a lifelong resident of Hawaiʻi, is a descendant of Native Hawaiians and Hakka Chinese immigrants. She has decades of experience in organizing, policy, strategy, and politics in Hawaiʻi, particularly in the area of Native Hawaiian issues, serving in the Hawaii State Legislature and as a policy lead and negotiator for Governor John Waiheʻe, Hawaiʻi’s first Native governor. Norma began her spiritual practice at the same time as her political life unfolded. These days, it is the intertwined application of Zen practice and an indigenous worldview that Norma brings to provoke practical inquiry and redirect work. She is a thought partner, a strategist, and a teacher.

When Nothing Works—What If That’s the Beginning?

This isn’t another guidebook full of fixes when Nothing Works is something else entirely—a gentle, radical invitation to live differently when the old ways no longer serve.

Zen master and Indigenous Hawaiian leader Rōshi Norma Wong brings decades of spiritual practice and grassroots organizing to the page. Her words don’t push—they open. Through story, poetry, and clear-eyed wisdom, she holds space for the questions we’re all carrying:

What if we’ve reached a turning point, not an end?
How do we stay whole in a fractured world?
Can urgency be met with intention instead of burnout?

This is a book for those who walk through chaos with their hearts. For readers of Hospicing Modernity, When Things Fall Apart, and Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet, it offers something familiar yet utterly new—a quiet rhythm in the noise.

No grand declarations. No easy solutions. Just presence. Care. A path forward shaped by community, spirit, and grounded action.

Rōshi Norma doesn’t promise to save the world. But she offers a way to stand inside it—with clarity, with grace, and with each other.
