The only reason that I did not give this a 5 is because Thich Nhat Hanh's voice is a bit husky on part of the recording, and difficult to hear (for me) with any background noise. The material is fresh and can be apprehended by the Western mind. Humanistic personal psychology and how to create positive changes is presented in a logical, coherent and compassionate manner. He provides examples of principles that virtually all listeners can understand.He presents Buddhist methods for dealing with one's own disturbing emotions that are totally counter to emulating stoicism. His sweet sense of humor pads the corridors of the somewhat scary work of facing and embracing tenderly one's own true feeling, and using methods to transform them to their opposites, to find peace and expansion of consciousness in the process. This is for people who are willing to find out who they are and what they are feeling in order to get the benefit of emotional freedom. I purchased the audio book because it is much easier for me to learn that way than by hitting the books.

The key point that Thich brings out so well is that so much of our suffering comes about from the way we react against our pain and the ups and downs of life. 'Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional', as the saying goes. Thich helps guide us to smile at our reactions, the products of the little mind, the mind that is chained to the thoughts and emotions that arise from our conditioning. In this simple response of mindfulness, our inner pain has a chance to heal. Great words from a great master. I also recommend 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation' by Dr Peter Strong, an in-depth exploration of mindfulness meditation.

I've been able to listen to the first disc only so far, but am captivated by Thich Nhat Hanh's insight and lessons for life. Yes, he speaks quietly and that makes you get quiet and listen--which is one of the points of the path on which he encourages us.
