Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Zen master, offers short teachings on how to be fully present in each moment. He explains mindful breathing, walking and eating, and shows how to handle anger, fear and sorrow by recognising them without being swept away. He argues that the present moment is the only place where life is available, and that sitting meditation and daily awareness can bring peace to the self and to others. The chapters are brief and written in plain language.
Anyone new to mindfulness or looking for a gentle reminder will find it a useful companion. It suits readers who want something quiet and practical, to be taken a chapter at a time.
Inward-looking, contemplative and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
