Review
“Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha.”—Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
“365 pithy teachings. . . . In the editor’s preface, Melvin McLeod suggests reading them slowly, maybe one or two a day, in order to savor and digest them more fully. This is excellent advice, but whenever I sit down with the book, I find myself reading ‘just one more’ and ‘just one more’ again.”—Shambhala Sun
“What I most appreciate in this little book is how each passage cuts directly through to the heart of the matter. The selections are simple, profound, and meaningfully applicable to everyday life in today’s world.”—New Spirit Journal
“Melvin McLeod has done a wonderful job of compiling one year’s worth of Hanh’s teachings. Each reading is short: none is more than a half page in length and most are shorter. Yet each contains a potent seed capable of transforming a day or even a lifetime if allowed to take hold and grow. If the world could practice what Hanh preaches, I believe the major problems facing our world today could be resolved.”—San Francisco Book Review

Your True Home: The Everyday Wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh: 365 days of practical powerful teachings from the beloved Zen teacher
January 7, 2012
By T. A. Moore
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book as a gift (the receiver loves it) and then received it as a gift myself and I love it as well. Every day there is a short meditation, that is easy to read and understand. I think Thich Nhat Hanh has this amazing ability to help non-Buddhists begin to understand the Buddhist way of living and how to incorporate this wisdom into their own lives.

Thich Nhat Hanh has become my favorite, beloved Buddhist writer, up there with Pema Chodron.
The beauty of Your True Home is the simple, concise, daily meditations that are thought-provoking,loving, compassionate and true.
As a former Christian, I am embracing the Buddhist philosophy of acceptance of ourselves and love for everyone in the world.
I adore this book!

I read one entry every morning, and it is invaluable in framing my perspective for the day. Some entries are stronger than others, but overall the book is a welcome addition to my daily routine.
Thich Nhat Hanh is someone we can all learn from.
