Book Reviews of Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
Book Review: Peace Now is NOT Merely a Slogan
Summary: 5 Stars
Hanh's book is a wonderful exhortation for all of us to find deep sprirituality in the midst of what we are NOW, what we do NOW, and simply the moment we call NOW. I greatly admire this Buddhist author's humility. He does not say "follow in my footsteps," but rather invites us to walk alongside him, and discover our own paths to "mindfulness." This is a very welcome change of pace from all the "spiritual" books that attempt to sell the author's own beliefs about God, or worse yet, attempt to promote the financial well-being of the author. Hanh has the resume to prove his sincerity -- having taken great risks to urge reconciliation at a time when the U.S. and Vietnam were torn by violent conflict. He adheres to the Zen tradition of making no demands on what people choose to believe, or what religion they should practice. "Peace Is Every Step" is a well expressed invitation to join him in this sincere spiritual quest. A word of caution though -- you are not likely to benefit from the book unless you actually *practice* the techniques Hanh so eloquently describes. However, if you do, you will find peace, because it is already there inside of you. (And his other books are very much worth reading too!)
Book Review: A Life Changer
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading this book was one of the major crossroads of my life. Through it I discovered a beautiful & fulfilling spiritual path, which is fully compatible with my scientific world view. For me, this book would have been a bargain at $20K.Book Review: I do not remember life before this book

Summary: 5 Stars
My lowly advise: don't buy a copy of Thich Nhat Hahn's Peace Is Every Step! Buy two. Buy three. Buy four. Five. Six. One hundred if you can. Buy a whole bunch! You'll want to give them to family and friends--everyone. (Because heaven knows you won't be able to part with your own copy, no matter how at peace you become--at least I can't!) This is an excellent, comprehensive book. Inspiring. Tranquil. Peaceful.... and especially geared to the Western Mind. One of the best purchases I've ever made.Book Review: Hate Washing Dishes?
Summary: 5 Stars
Thich Nhat Hanh will teach you how to love every moment of your life, including, miraculously, washing dishes!
