Book Review: A Nudge
Summary: 5 Stars
A gentle reminder of who we really are and why we exist. A must-read, at least once a year.Book Review: Enlightening! Mindfulness simply yet thoroughly explained
Summary: 5 Stars
Thich Nhat Hanh's book Peace is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life is an enlightening read!
The author does a great job of showing the inextricable connection between the mind, the body, and the environment. Mindfulness is an awareness of our living right now. It helps us to become and remain mentally and physically healthy and to live harmoniously in our symbiotic relationship with each other and our environment. Our survival on this planet depends upon it.
Hanh encourages us to be mindful in everything we do--for example, when we peel a tangerine eat it mindfully. He encourages us to feel the spray as we peel it. Smell the fragrance and feel the texture of fruit. Enjoy the taste and nourishment. Think of the mother of the fruit--the tree, its leaves, its blossoms and our connection with it and the environment.
The author encourages us to slow down, breathe, and live in the moment. Instead of being frustrated by the obstacles--red lights, traffic, layovers--that prevent us from getting from one place to another quickly, use those moments to practice Mindfulness.
I recommend this book to people of all ages and backgrounds. The author's writing style is simple and insightful. His aim is to promote peace, happiness, health, and wisdom. He did a great job!

Book Review: Very worthwhile
Summary: 5 Stars
Practical adaptation of eastern wisdom to western culture. Easy to read and fairly realistic approach for beginners like me. I was able to put some of these methods to use right after reading and enjoyed some peace and relaxation that surpasses what I usually get from expensive vacations.Book Review: Simple and Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very simple and beautiful. I would highly recommend it to beginning Buddhists and those who are new to meditation. Actually, I'd recommend it to everyone. Thich Nhat Hanh gives good suggestions for living and bringing peace to your life and the lives of others through simple mindfulness.
