In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment.

World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. For him a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to “mindfulness”—the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now.

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 a part—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 “mindless” into the mindFUL.

Amazon.com Review

Thich Nhat Hanh's writing is deceptive in its subtlety. He'll go on and on with stories about tree-hugging or metaphors involving raw potatoes; he'll tell you how to eat mindfully, even how to breathe and walk; he'll suggest looking closely at a flower and to see the sun as your heart. As the Zen teacher Richard Baker commented, however, Nhat Hanh is "a cross between a cloud, a snail, and piece of heavy machinery." Sooner or later, it begins to sink in that Nhat Hanh is conveying a depth of psychology and a world outlook that require nothing less than a complete paradigm shift. Through his cute stories and compassionate admonitions, he gradually builds up to his philosophy of interbeing, the notion that none of us is separately, but rather that we inter-are. The ramifications are explosive. How can we mindlessly and selfishly pursue our individual ends, when we are inextricably bound up with everyone and everything else? We see an enemy not as focus of anger but as a human with a complex history, who could be us if we had the same history. Suffice it to say, that after reading Peace Is Every Step, you'll never look at a plastic bag the same way again, and you may even develop a penchant for hugging trees. --Brian Bruya

Review

Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Buddhist Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is (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. Through deceptively simple practices, Peace Is Every Step encourages the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the "mindless" into the mindful. Peace Is Every Step is a useful, and necessary, addition to any Buddhist studies or self-help reference shelf. -- Midwest Book Review

A true masterpiece

March 19, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have read at least a dozen of Thich Nhat Hanh's books. They are all wonderful, without exception. This one is my favorite. It is a true masterpiece. It is overflowing with gentleness, insight and compassion. I read a few chapters every morning when I pray and meditate and I fall in love again every day.

This may sound rather dramatic and perhaps it is, but I cannot recommend this book enough. I believe it has changed my life.

The three treasures of compassion, simplicity and humility are to be found here in abundance. I do myself a favor every time I read it.

Peace is Every Step has helped many of my friends and family members get through rough (or even smooth!) times in their lives. This book is a must-have if you are going through any kind of stressful situation or you are just looking for simple ways to live mindfully. It is organized in very short chapters which are perfect if you want to read one quick chapter a day and then think on it. The messages are easy to understand and provide such accessible wisdom compared to other books of this nature which can be ponderous, new-agey, or overly complicated. My life is better since this book came into my life, and I will never be without a copy.

I could not get enough of Thich's books. His mediation technique is fantastic. I am breathing better than before but calmness. I just finished reading "You are Here," such a great book. Even though he is a Buddhist monk, this book is for everyone. I love how he does not push you to be Buddhist but to except love and peace. From time to time, I get so stressed out from work and life, with this book it really helps me bring down my anger, and mediate. I recommend this book to everyone.

a gentle but persuasive reminder that peace is available to each of us, in every moment; that an inner sense of completeness, serenity can be not only achieved, but sustained...that we can maintain a steady commitment to living with consciousness in spite of the tedium, the antagonizations of modern life.

through short anecdotes, meditations, and stories, hanh encourages us to return, again and again, to the fullness of the present moment. "all around us, how many lures are set by our fellows and ourselves?" hanh asks. "in a single day, how many times do we become lost and scattered because of them?"

protect your fate, your peace, your joy, hanh advises. choose your companions carefully; stand alert, a guard at the gates of your mind.

peace isn't some future event, hanh reminds us, but something we can access now, by reorienting our relationship to the outer world, to ourselves. begin where you are, he says. breathe. smile. love. it's simple :)

try not to escape. wash the dishes, walk, answer the phone, eat, and do all of it with an abiding awareness. love in action, he says. settle within yourself and bring each thought into the sunlight of awareness. "in this light," he writes, "no boundary exists between the sacred and the profane."

thank you, thich nhat hanh. five stars.

Finding peace in what we feel is mundane has helped me become addicted to happiness and discover a calm within

September 7, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I purchased this book because it was on Bill Gates list. I also didn't know where to begin in terms of meditation. "Peace is every step" is literally what this book is about. Finding peace in what we feel is mundane has helped me become addicted to happiness and discover a calm within. I highly recommend this book. We make our life so caotic and this book helps us become conscious in an unconscious world!

I cannot say enough good things about this book! It is deceptively small and simple in appearance, but it is deep and complex in content. It took me awhile to read it because each short "chapter" is best savored and given time to digest. Sometimes I would allow a week or more to focus on a particular chapter and the practice described by that chapter. I know that doing so helped me to gain tools for dealing with the challenges that life inevitably brings to us all. In fact, it already helped me get through a particularly difficult time in my life.

I have almost come to view this book as a kind friend. It is a book I know I will read again and again and continue to benefit from its wisdom. I would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially those who are looking for guidance in living a more mindful, peaceful life.
