simple, practical and so lovely
16 Aug 2011
Format:Hardcover
What could an 85-year-old monk know about relationships? Everything!
It is no exaggeration to say that we are still together because of the practices Thich Nhat Hanh shares in this book. We have been having a very difficult time in our relationship to the point that it seemed time to end it not too long ago. We vowed to give it six more weeks, during which time we followed TNH's advice and started looking at our individual loneliness and suffering, learning to love ourselves, practicing meditation of various kinds. They are ongoing processes which we do very imperfectly, still, they have opened our hearts, brought us much happiness and renewed our commitment to one another.
Love has poured into our relationship every time I've followed the suggestions in this book. (Even when it's one-sided!) Sometimes the book seems frustratingly simple, if not simplistic, but it works. My favorite recommendation of his is to watch our beloved sleep in order to recapture a feeling of tenderness. Beautiful, simple. Each time I stare at my partner's sweet sleeping face I fall in love all over again. Later, during the day, when he's driving me crazy I recall that image, that sweet feeling, love washes over me and I smile. I've even applied this to my teenage daughter. I also love The Hugging Meditation--the very idea of a hugging meditation should make you smile.
Also excellent is Love's Garden by Peggy Rowe-Ward and Larry Ward

The only Thich Nhat Hanh book that really resonated with me
8 May 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Perhaps it's because of the content (namely our relationship with sex, our romantic relationships, and ourselves) and my age (Single, young-professional), but Fidelty is the only Thich Nhat Hanh book out of the over 10 I have read that really resonated with me. His step-by step walk-through of the sutras on sexuality are complemented by deep wisdom that has the potential to heal. In my view, Fidelity has two goals. 1.) To become aware of the roots of our sexual desires and attachments (without judgement) 2.) To help readers understand how to cultivate loving relationships. It's an honest work, not taking a religious and/or holier than though view on sex, but rather really exploring with the reader in a gentle way to consider how we think and act in our sexual and romantic relationships and how we might learn to create more freedom and love in ourselves and others. Bravo, Thay and a big thank you for all your insights!

Excellent manual

Great book.
Agreeable read, good pointers, strangely motivating reassessments of old truths.
The author may sometimes have shocked this reviewer with simplistic writing.
Would recommend.
