Peace is Every Step:
The Path of Mindfulness in Every Day Life
Thich Nhat Hanh
forward by the Dalai Lama

In Peace Is Every Step, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us that the deepest fulfillment can be found in the midst of the very things we do every day and take most for granted. Peace Is Every Step offers practical methods to integrate everyday events into the quest for peace within ourselves, beginning with an awareness of breathing and smiling, and proceeding to work, play, relationships, family, the struggle with technology, money, and politics. Thich Nhat Hanh teaches that there is no need to wait to change our lives. He offers dozens of creative suggestions that can be put to work immediately. Here is the essence of ancient wisdom skillfully adapted to contemporary life.
