Peace and Happiness Easy to Attain April 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Peace is Every Step takes you into a world of peace and happiness, and you need nothing to get there but your attention. In the simplest everyday tasks, the author shows us how to get the most out of our lives and experience true enjoyment. We don't have to do or have different things, we just need to pay attention to what we have and what we are doing now. Nhat Hanh gently leads us to this practice. This book has changed my life for the better. I will keep it and read it over and over.
A Nudge April 6, 2008
A gentle reminder of who we really are and why we exist. A must-read, at least once a year.

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!

this book is one of the best books I have read on peace and mindfulness.
I have brought so many copies for my family and friends.
Su Ong Nhat Hanh is my favorite author, and I highly recommend all his books :-)

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.
