Book Review: Un libro que puede cambiar tu vida
Summary: 5 Stars
Si alguien me pidiera que le recomendara un libro para leer, quizas este seria de los primeros que me pasaria por la mente. El libro es pequeño, facil de leer, y muy practico. Hay otros libros del autor que seguro son mejores que este, pero "Peace is every step" puede convertirse en el primer paso para cambiar tu vida y la de los tuyos para mejor. Un abrazo a todos.Book Review: wonderful little book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read many books by Thich Nhat Hanh, and I always come back to this one. The suggestions are practical and actionable. It's easy to read. You can read it strait through, or pick chapters which are 1 1/2 pages to read. The message underlying what appears to be simple stories is powerful and thought provoking.Book Review: Buddhism for Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read many of Hanh's books, this is the most accessible to those unfamiliar with Buddhism. Having given several copies of this as gifts, some Christians view any other religious writings with skepticism. Like so many of his works, this book by Hanh is valuable to people of any belief. The principles and practices he espouses are applicable to any religion. Hanh extends the principles of mindfulness and 'monkey mind' to everyone. My Christian friends who have read this have found it valuable in aiding their own efforts at quiet contemplation. Regardless of its utility, it is also a 'feel good' book. It would be hard for anyone to read this with an open mind, and not come away with a feeling of refreshment and cleanliness. Of course, this is truly common to all of Hanh's more ecuminical writings. Hopefully, this book will serve as an invitation to explore more of his work, and to learn more of his remarkable life.
Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book twice once ten years ago and once recently. The last reading was the most powerful possibly because I had read both Converstaions with God and An Encounter With A Prophet. It was much easier for me to attain great peace after I had changed my concepts of God from reading these two books. try it you will like itBook Review: Peace is only a Breath Away
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably one of the most simple yet profound books I have ever read. It significantly increased my awareness of how accessible peace of mind, body and spirit is. It reads very easy and the insights are simple observations that in our busy lives, we often forget or take for granted. With mindfulness and some practice of breathing and 'enjoying doing the dishes' we can learn to grow from and fully enjoy the process of living and the diversity of life's experiences. Regardless of your spiritual tradition, and without trying to 'convert you to Buddhism', this book will help you realize that peace of mind, body and spirit is internal and only a breath away.
I feel this book promotes world peace, one reader at a time, since peace on earth begins in the heart. I have given many copies as gifts and enjoy hearing how others that I have given the book to are now also passing it along. I especially recommend this book to those who feel they need to slow down (or have been told by others or their doctor that they should). It's time to stop and smell the roses. If you have never read Thich Nhat Hanh...start your journey here.
