The Art of Living

Peace and Freedom in the Here and Now

De: Thich Nhat Hanh

Narrado por: Edoardo Ballerini, Gabra Zackman

In troubled times, there is an urgency to understand ourselves and our world. We have so many questions, and they tug at us night and day, consciously and unconsciously. In this important volume Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh—one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today—reveals an art of living in mindfulness that helps us answer life’s deepest questions and experience the happiness and freedom we desire.

Thich Nhat Hanh presents, for the first time, seven transformative meditations that open up new perspectives on our lives, our relationships and our interconnectedness with the world around us. Based on the last full talks before his sudden hospitalization, and drawing on intimate examples from his own life, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how these seven meditations can free us to live a happy, peaceful and active life, and face ageing and dying with curiosity and joy and without fear.

Containing the essence of the Buddha’s teachings and Thich Nhat Hanh’s poignant, timeless, and clarifying prose, The Art of Living provides a spiritual dimension to our lives. This is not an effort to escape life or to dwell in a place of bliss outside of this world. Instead, this path will allow us to discover where we come from and where we are going. And most of all, it will generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply in each moment of our life, right where we are.

Amazing advice in order to learn to become a more humane person

I love the sincerity and genuineness of Thich Nhat Hanh. This book is full of good advice with his personal stories as examples and with practical tools of meditation. I’m a Muslim but I can totally relate to it and it resonates with me. I also really liked the narrator. I’m planning on listening to this book again. I recommend this book highly to anyone who’s seeking means to becoming a more aware person and who’s interested in becoming a better person. Thank you Thich Nhat Hanh!
