Mindfulness and Psychotherapy [Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Thich Nhat Hanh (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2000

Before you can help others, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, you must first bring peace and a deep love of life into your own consciousness. On this breakthrough workshop especially for psychotherapists, Thich Nhat Hanh explores how to find and nourish an inner peacefulness and maintain it through the day – no matter what your case load is. Mindfulness and Psychotherapy also includes an enlightening discussion of how to work with anger, in which Thich Nhat Hanh recommends breathing and walking meditation as more beneficial in many situations than directly expressing anger.

Book Description

To the extend that psychotherapists are able to defuse the inner strife of others, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, they bring peace to the world at large--which is precisely why these caregivers most urgently need the power of mindfulness. Of particular interest is a special section on anger in which Thich Nhat Hanh offers a radically different way of working with anger, using time-tested techniques of breathing and walking meditation.

About the Author

Thich Nhat Hanh is an expatriate Vietnamese Buddhist monk, as well as a teacher, author, poet, and peace activist. Martin Luther King, Jr. nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967 for his efforts to reconcile North and South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Hanh was part of a movement called "engaged Buddhism", which combines traditional practices with nonviolent civil disobedience, and he was exiled by both the Communist and non-Communist governments. He is a respected writer and scholar, and founded a retreat in France called Plum Village. Hanh has written several books, including The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: An Introduction to Buddhism, Peace Is Every Step, and Living Buddha, Living Christ.

2.0 out of 5 stars Horrible sound quality, October 11, 2005

I am so sad to say how disappointed I was with the quality of this tape. Thich Nhat Hanh has so much wisdom to share, but this tape was frustrating to listen to, between the muffled tone and the audience coughs, laughs, and sneezes. I hate to say it, but this deserves a pass, especially considering the content is good....if you can hear it.

Purchased this and it's been very frustrating to listen to this because of the poor audio quality. You definitely need to practice mindfulness to hear what is being said. Don't waste your money on this recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low quality audio, but excellent quality content, April 28, 2011

Yes, it is true that the audio quality is medium-to-low, but I find that Thich Nhat Hanh's words are easy to hear and understand. The audio quality is about the same as a long distance Skype call. If you buy his teachings for their audio quality, then give this a miss, but if you buy them for their clear insightful teachings, then this is a fine addition to your library.
