Book Reviews of Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
Book Review: Sweet, Simple, and Sound Advice
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully written, simply delivered. Every time I read this book I am left with a feeling of ease and joy. The exercises are easy to do in a normal day, no hassle of putting aside more time that you don't have. Instead you can meditate/be present while you are driving!Book Review: Your life, improved, immediately
Summary: 5 Stars
This book leaves me speechless. It has changed my life, helping me to be more mindful, which helps me live in the present. (I would have never thought to type such a sentence even one year ago, but midlife has taught me the enormous enjoyment that the present offers.) The lessons can be learned and practiced immediately. Moments after starting it, I had become more able to listen to others, to relax, to enjoy life more fully.
Nominated for the 1967 Nobel Peace Price by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh teaches how to turn the small moments of daily life -- washing dishes, driving the car -- into meaningful engagement.
If you are willing to read only one book on finding inner peace, on learning to meditate, on living in the present, here is that book. It is short and sweet -- and very accessible, not pie-in-the-sky philosophical.

This book is amazing. Peace is indeed possible, and it begins with each of us. This book helps us step by step to get nearer to the practice of Peace. Meditation, living life itself, with this guidance, becomes a joyful peaceful dance. I heartily reccomend this book to all! May your life be full of mindful joyful moments.Book Review: Worth Many Hours Of Psychotherapy
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book, Thich Nhat Hanh goes beyond the differences between Eastern and Western philosophies and guides the reader in a very pragmatic manner towards creating peace. Interpersonal peace, peace in the family and community, world peace, and most importantly, peace within oneself. His words reflect an ancient wisdom which is simple yet so profoundly insightful. In my opinion, his approach to solving emotional suffering and curtailing society's ills dwarfs many theories of modern behavioral and social sciences. This is a work to be read and reread. I also recommend Thich Nhat Hanh's "The Miracle of Mindfulness" as a complement to this work.
