About this title

About the Author:

Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen master, poet, scholar, and peace activist who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He is the author of many books, including the classics Peace Is Every Step and The Art of Power. Hanh lives in Plum Village, his meditation center in France, and has led retreats worldwide on the art of mindful living.

From AudioFile:

The concepts of mindfulness and compassion are wonderfully simple yet complex in their potential for a society that prizes living at a frenetic pace. HanhÕs teaching goes to the core of happiness and self-awareness in our daily lives. Creative power and the power to transform ourselves lie in the application of mindfulness--at work and in our relationships, both individual and community. Lloyd JamesÕs narration is calm, steady, and conversational. The simplicity of his style complements the simplicity of the writing and the directness of the ideas presented. Further, his rendering of the exercises promotes focus and meaningful meditation. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
