SynopsisIn the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. For him a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to "mindfulness"--the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now. 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 a part--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 Is 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 "mindless" into the mindFUL.

  • Peace is Every step indeed!

    Great book, 1-2 page chapters with great wisdom on how not to be flustered and see each interrupt as possibility to relax with breathing. Should have read this long time ago. Quite difficult to implement but I think gradual reinforcement I am hoping I will succeed

  • Helpful

    A copy was loaned to me but after a little reading I knew I had to have my own copy. I read it up to about page 10 and then started skipping around. There is something helpful everywhere I open the book. Another, better, way of looking at things and living. I keep it by my bed. If you have trouble in your life this book shows a way out.
