Peace Is Every Breath: A Practice for Our Busy Lives Details
From the Back Cover Spiritual practice is possible for all of us. You cannot say, "I'm just too busy, I have no time for meditation." No. Walking from one building to another, walking from the parking lot to your office, you can always enjoy walking mindfully, and enjoy every one of your steps. Each step you take in mindfulness can help you release the tension in your body, release the tension in your feelings, and bring about healing, joy, and transformation.—from the IntroductionOffering personal anecdotes, meditations, and advice for mindfully connecting with our present experience, Zen master and international bestselling author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how we can discover within the here and now our own innate ability to experience inner peace and happiness. We do not need to escape reality to harness the joy that is possible with every breath we take. Read more About the Author Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen master, poet, scholar, and peace activist who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He is the author of many books, including the classics Peace Is Every Step and The Art of Power.

Reviews
I was in my local library looking for a book to manage stress that was not "wordy". I picked this one up, (still have it at home), and immediately ordered my own copy. I knew I would be referring to it for the rest of my life. If you are like me, as I start each chapter my mind goes "Yeah, but..." and by the time I am finished it is clear. The breathing techniques this monk describes are simple and make sense. I use them everyday now and try to stay in the moment. If you have a horrible childhood that effects you to this day, maybe this will be of some help. It puts things in perspective and provides a way to look at life I had not considered. AND helps me clear my brain when trying to go to sleep...worth every penny.
