Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

by Thich Nhat Hanh

Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices.

“Breathing in, I calm my body

Breathing out, I smile.

Dwelling in the present moment,

I know this is a wonderful moment.”
