Most of us live in a constant state of fear - of our past, of illness and aging and death, and of losing the things we treasure most. But it doesn't have to be this way, promises Zen master and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Drawing on a lifetime of mindfulness in action, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to use the practice of living in the present to acknowledge and embrace our fears, recognize their origins, and render them powerless. The world-renowned Zen teacher guides us through practical exercises for transforming fear into clarity.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 2
Mindfulness is a very clear term. It suggests that the mind attends fully to what is happening, to what you are doing, and to the space through which you are moving. That may sound trivial, with the exception of the irritating fact that we so frequently veer from the matter. Our mind is fleeing, we're losing touch with our body, and we're getting stuck in obsessive thoughts about something that's just happening or worrying about the future pretty soon. And that leaves us nervous.

Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle and, once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life.

Publisher's Summary
The word "Zen" is one of the most popular words used to refer to a state of being at peace or being chill in the midst of many things that are going on in life. It's also one of the most misunderstood ones. Zen may be formally defined a type school or branch of Japanese meditation called Mahayana Buddhism, which highlights the importance of intuition and meditation.
This book is about renewing your mind on a daily basis simply by meditating on one quote a day for the next 365 days - or one whole year. By meditating upon these quotes every day, you can gradually change the way you think about life in general and about certain important things in particular. And when you change the way you think about life, you change the way you feel about it. Only then can inner peace and happiness come to you.
I have presented these quotes to you in four different stages, which I believe is important for helping you experience deep and lasting inner peace and happiness. These stages are mindfulness, acceptance, peace of mind, and happiness. Each stage has enough daily quotes to meditate and reflect on for one quarter or three months.
The very first step towards changing your mind is to first be mindful of yourself and the world around you. Then you'll be able to start accepting life for what it is, which is key towards achieving the last two stages: inner peace and happiness. Your ability to experience inner peace is dependent on how much you're able to accept yourself and the things around you, and the ability to be truly happy is dependent on how at peace you are.

Unlistenable narration, have to return to Audible!!!
It’s good content (not original but a collection of quotes), however the poor production and the fast pace of the narration makes it unlistenable. It’s like the narrator is trying to get through it as quickly as possible and does not pause between quotes. The irony is that’s it’s about zen and mindfulness. I even slowed the playback to .75 and it’s still unlistenable. I’ve never returned a book to Audible, but this one will be returned.
