I read this as someone for whom mindfulness is an everyday practice and I really enjoyed it. There are some bits that I didn't entirely agree with, towards the end of the book, but I don't think they're harmful approaches either. I would recommend this to most people however I think that you'd get the most enjoyment if you're open to/a little more familiar with mindfulness already.

Thich Nhat Hanh's message is a simple, but profound one. We can have Peace NOW; only if we stop looking for it from outside things. It is right here inside of us. All we have to do is be mindful. I enjoyed it immensely.

Thay being Thay. Never disappoints. Always brings you back to the here and now.

Thich Nhat Hanh shares so much wisdom in his books and this is no different. It's a peaceful listen, with so many nuggets to think about and apply in my life. It's not my favourite of his books, but certainly added value to my life.

A heartwarming book. The energy from this book is peace abundant and inspirational. Mindfulness is so important and books like this bring joy to my life. It is filled with reminders of the importance of peace and I think anytime is a good time to practise and refresh our mindset to these factors.
I give this book 3.75 stars.

This book was gifted to me for Christmas from a special friend. I planned to read it in the new year, but I was in the mood to read it now. It was fitting to end the year with this wonderful book. I have read Art of Mindfulness and I have applied that to my running. This was on another level. This should be how we live our lives. The anger section is definitely one i will use. The last two chapters were beautiful and the very last chapter is taking policy to fix the world entering the 21rst century.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone.
