Publisher's summary

In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. A ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to "mindfulness" - the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now.

Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries, meditations, personal anecdotes, and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the listener already is - in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking - and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices.

The deceptively simple practices of Peace Is Every Step encourage listeners to work for peace in the world as they continue to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the "mindless" into the mindful.

LET PEACE PREVAIL

Religion and God is the number one ENEMY OF PEACE, I don't believe in either, but the authors point is well taken, about achieving and looking for INTERNAL PEACE in everyone, IA path or a start for peace on earth. Every person in the world should NOT lift a weapon or device or a method or use a religion or God to hurt another living being on this planet.
Enjoyed listening!

What A Beautifully Written and Narrated Book

I enjoyed this book so much. By the second night I looked forward to "Peace Is Every Step" helping me wind down! It left me transformed regarding being angry vs. being mindful and noticing my breathing in the situation. It has helped me be a better listener, more patient, and tolerant!!!I actually plan to listen to it again!!!!The narrator's voice was so soothing and relaxing!!!A great storyteller!!!!

Amazing book!

A friend recommended this book to me, and it was an amazing read!! It helps to put things into perspective as we rush around in our busy lives, not giving much thought to our breathing and our thoughts. We have so much to be grateful for, and taking the time to be mindful and present really helps with the anxiety and stress of our daily lives.

Peace in every step!

This was my first book authored by Thich Nhat Hanh. The content was excellent. Because of the reading I appreciate mindful breathing. This reading help me to embrace oneness even more. The Sun being our second heart and the forest trees our second lung make the desire to drop duality at once. I highly recommend this book for everyone desiring to learn the true meaning of meditation.
