More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
How to use ancient Buddhist teachings to solve modern problems.
Product Description
Lucidly and beautifully written, PEACE IS EVERY STEP contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is - in the kitchen, office driving a car, walking in a park - and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. The deceptively simple practices of PEACE IN EVERY STEP encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the 'mindness' into the mindful. 'This is a very worthwhile book. It can change individual lives and the life of our society. ' H. H. the Dalai Lama. (19950112)

Format:Paperback
This book was indeed a find! I have read many on similar topics - but the author captures the essence of Zen in few words that are alarmingly simple. Regardless of your core belief system, each person can take something with them from this book. This book helped me to transform my daily habits and to develop consious awareness of living intensively. His illustrations of how to be in the present moment are indeed, worth reading and are easily pulled back from memory. His method of presentation is truly a manifestation that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I consider this book a contemporary classic in the field of zen/self help. It is one of the very best books I have read, and I have read a fair few on this subject. Fantastic, easy to read, but in fact a significant proportion of the message is expressed via the delivery of the content rather than the actual content itself in my view. The author leads by his own example, his words have a peaceful feel and the mere act of reading creates a sense of calm focus. Just by reading his words and his manner of speaking, I get the feeling of what he is describing through his manner of writing alone. Nevertheless, the written content is also of particularly high quality and of particularly high level of personal usefulness in providing guidance for the amelioration of one's life.
An absolute pleasure.

A little over three years ago I received this book as a birthday present (in the wonderful Dutch translation by Anna Bol and Eveline Beumkes). After quickly reading it, I put it away: 'surely, a lot of peace for such a small book'. It was only six months later, when I started reading the short, meditative pieces one a day, that some of the messages began to take hold. The simplicity is both real and deceptive at the same time: even after three years, new meanings suddenly appear -- "ah, that's what he means!" A rich and inspiring book. And the English version is as beautiful as the Dutch.
