Has some good bits but gets all wooh-wooh, particularly through much repetition.

probably the best short book on mindfulness out there. so simple. so effective. I made a tattoo based on this book!
I enjoyed this. I learned a lot that I hope I can take into my life. The drawings were also beautiful!

I liked the content of this book a lot. It turns something that we do everyday into a way to tap back in to yourself and the present. I enjoyed the detail on how to incorporate it. I have no dislikes for this book.
I recommend this book to everyone- especially if you’re American. I rate this book a 4 because I like it very much for what it is, however it’s shortness and simpleness make it a 4 instead of a 5 for me.

Like the other tiny books in this series, this one is full of aphorisms, anecdotes, and repetitious meanderings. And apparently lies, like: "A child is a bell of mindfulness" - really? It could easily have been summarized by a single paragraph of intentional thought.
I like Thich Nhat Hanh, but this series is irksome. It's an expensive, well-packaged notebook of everything that passed through his mind, at any given point, in no order, and with a lot of assumptive pseudoscience thrown in for good measure. Rather than being helpful or mindful (or, you could argue, being a practice in prolonged mindfulness in itself), the book seems like a monologue of things Which Nhat Hanh thinks about while he should be walking in mindfulness.

This charming little book gives short bursts of insight and encouragement, guiding the reader to be present and mindful while walking. For those looking to be present in every moment, there is wisdom in this book and likely something that will resonate with you.
