Critic reviews

One of the best available introductions to the wisdom and beauty of meditation practice. --New Age Journal

"Thich Nhat Hanh's ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity." --Martin Luther King, Jr.

"He has immense presence and both personal and Buddhist authority. If there is a candidate for 'Living Buddha' on earth today, it is Thich Nhat Hanh." --Roshi Richard Baker, author of Original Mind: The Practice of Zen in the West

Very informative and meditative. yet dry.

I got the information I wanted however it felt like the book was a meditation practice. like writing the novel to just write the Novel. so while intriguing dialogue was also very dry.

The author has better books

I've read half a dozen books by the author, and really like his works. This one is not the best. The narrator was difficult to understand.
