Purchase options and add-ons

An introduction to mindful walking, which can be done anywhere, at any time—even on a commute to work or school.

The fourth book in the bestselling Mindfulness Essentials series, a back-to-basics collection from world-renowned Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh that introduces everyone to the essentials of mindfulness practice.

Slow, concentrated walking while focusing on in- and out-breaths allows for a unique opportunity to be in the present. There is no need to arrive somewhere—each step is the arrival to concentration, joy, insight, and the momentary enlightenment of aliveness. When your foot touches the Earth with awareness, you make yourself alive and the Earth real, and you forget for one minute the searching, rushing, and longing that rob our daily lives of awareness and cause us to "sleepwalk" through life.

Thich Nhat Hanh shares amusing stories of the impact mindful walking has on both the walker and those who notice him, and shows how mindful walking can be a technique for diminishing depression, recapturing wonder, and expressing gratitude. Pocket-sized, with original two color illustrations by Jason DeAntonis, How to Walk is a unique gift for all ages, sharing a simple practice that can have a profound effect on practitioners.

Review

The Mindfulness Essentials have appeared on the NPR Bestseller list, the San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller list, the Boston Globe Bestseller list, the LA Times Bestseller List and the extended New York Times Bestseller List.

“The monk who taught the world mindfulness.”
—TIME

“Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth.”
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

“Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

About the Author

Thich Nhat Hanh was a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than four million copies in the United States alone. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to Western culture. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95 at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Thich Nhat Hanh (1926–2022) was a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, and peace activist and one of the most revered and influential spiritual teachers in the world. Born in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. His work for peace and reconciliation during the war in Vietnam moved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. In Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh founded Van Hanh Buddhist University and the School of Youth for Social Service, a corps of Buddhist peace workers. Exiled as a result of his work for peace, he continued his humanitarian efforts, rescuing boat people and helping to resettle refugees. In 1982 he established Plum Village France, the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the hub of the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism. Over seven decades of teaching, he published a hundred books, which have been translated into more than forty languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide.

I use the techniques learned in this book at work, everyday.
The techniques in this book are practical and do not require any special equipment, or a very serene place to practice - so, you can put the tools to work right away - I like this aspect of the book.
Very calming read overall.

Simple, deep and so real. Adhering to the practice of mindfulness before, during and after eating every day and in every meal makes one actually practice meditation. The experience of eating will never be the same after one reads this book.

His writing style is gentle and accessible, making it easy for readers of all backgrounds to grasp the essence of walking meditation. Through his teachings, he illuminates the profound interconnection between our bodies, minds, and the Earth, reminding us to be fully present in each step we take.

Thich Nhat Hanh skillfully guides us through the practice of walking meditation, revealing the transformative power it holds. He encourages us to slow down, to be aware of our breath, and to cultivate a deep sense of gratitude for the simple act of walking.

The book is filled with practical exercises and reflections that deepen our understanding and application of walking meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh encourages us to explore various walking techniques, such as mindful walking, walking with love and compassion, and walking for healing. These practices not only bring a sense of calm and clarity to our minds but also help us cultivate a deep connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us.

The wisdom shared in "How to Walk" extends beyond the act of walking itself.

His teachings inspire us to embrace mindfulness and compassion as a way of life, transforming even the simplest actions into acts of grace and mindfulness.

Reading this book has been a transformative experience for me. It has opened my eyes to the beauty and significance of walking as a spiritual practice, reconnecting me with the present moment and the wonders of the world. Thich Nhat Hanh's words have left an indelible mark on my heart, reminding me to walk with intention, awareness, and love.

In conclusion, "How to Walk" is a gem of a book that offers invaluable guidance and insights into the practice of walking meditation.
