'This is a very worthwhile book. It can change individual lives and the life of our society.' The Dalai Lama Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is - in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking in a park - 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 the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the 'mindness' into the mindful.

I'm not a Buddhist, but feel a real inner connection to Buddhist teachings. The Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh are my two favorite "teachers" reads. It's very hard to read anything by either of them and not have your inner self nod in agreement.
As with many other of Thich Nhat Hanh's books, his insights into how to live a calmer, more fulfilling life are straight forward and seem quite do-able. I've learned how to be more peaceful and happy just through learning how to wash dishes, thanks to his teachings. Who would ever think one would come to actually like washing dishes? I do. (now)
This is a great book for anyone who would like to learn about different ways to meditate in everyday life, (yes, let your dishes be part of it) and gain a few insights into basic Buddhist teachings.
