Summary
In this beautifully written book， Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to acquire the skills of mindfulness。 Once we have these skills， we can slow our lives down and discover how to live in the moment - even simple acts like washing the dishes or drinking a cup of tea may be transformed into acts of meditation。
Thich Nhat Hanh's gentle anecdotes and practical exercises help us to arrive at greater self-understanding and peacefulness， whether we are beginners or advanced students。 Irrespective of our particular religious beliefs， we can begin to reap the immense benefits that meditation has been scientifically proven to offer。 We can all learn how to be mindful and experience the miracle of mindfulness for ourselves。

“If you cannot find joy and peace in these very moments， then the future itself will only flow by as a river flows by…you will be incapable of living the future when it has become the present。”Very inspiring for living a more mindful life of serving。 I felt more mindful just reading this - there’s a lot of presence in the words and I had to slow down to absorb it。 Helped me better understand what mindfulness is。I think this is the first meditation book I would recommend to a beginner looking for “If you cannot find joy and peace in these very moments， then the future itself will only flow by as a river flows by…you will be incapable of living the future when it has become the present。”Very inspiring for living a more mindful life of serving。 I felt more mindful just reading this - there’s a lot of presence in the words and I had to slow down to absorb it。 Helped me better understand what mindfulness is。I think this is the first meditation book I would recommend to a beginner looking for motivation and practical tips。 Will be revisiting the suggested exercises。 Love the weekly day of meditative cleaning， great future activity for family。 。。。more

A nice book to turn to when you need a reminder to be mindful。 This paired with Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics would be my perfect recs for anyone look to learn more about mindfulness。

3。5 first 1。5 hours contained great insight， the last 1。5 hours of meditations and ponderings were tedious to listen to even with John Lee as the narrator。

Observing our breath， is it long， it it short。 Next thing to learn is to try to be mindful at all the times， like washing dishes ， then to focus on each utensils and touch。 A good read for a week。

Very practical guide to using mindfulness in every aspect of your life。

reminded my how important mindfulness is。 for me， while it’s not the craft， it’s perhaps the most essential piece to maximizing the craft。 being present in every action allows for magic to manifest。

A very good book on mindfulness and meditation。 I read this book as an audiobook but i felt the narration towards the last few chapters to be perfunctory and I felt the last few chapters to be banal and hackneyed。 Although one major takeaway from this book for me is， "When you are washing your dishes， do not think about the next act of drinking tea"。 A subtle yet strong message of avoiding overthinking about future and the next tasks and todos ahead。 A very good book on mindfulness and meditation。 I read this book as an audiobook but i felt the narration towards the last few chapters to be perfunctory and I felt the last few chapters to be banal and hackneyed。 Although one major takeaway from this book for me is， "When you are washing your dishes， do not think about the next act of drinking tea"。 A subtle yet strong message of avoiding overthinking about future and the next tasks and todos ahead。 。。。more

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle。 But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air， but to walk on earth。 Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky， white clouds， green leaves， the black， curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes。 All is a miracle。”This is a great book for anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness and how to practice it in their every day lives， even when you're having a c “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle。 But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air， but to walk on earth。 Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky， white clouds， green leaves， the black， curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes。 All is a miracle。”This is a great book for anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness and how to practice it in their every day lives， even when you're having a cup of tea or washing dishes。 Thich Nhat Hanh emphasizes the importance of slowing down and being aware of ourselves and our environment around us。 The only reason for the 3-star rating was because all of the concepts were familiar to me。 I've read other books from the author so this one just felt a little repetitive but I'm sure it would be a great starting point for someone who is new to meditation。 。。。more

மூச்சு காற்று பாரு +2， கல்லூரி காலத்தில் ஒரு சாமியாரின் அறிமுகம் கிடைத்தது。 அவருக்கு படிப்பறிவு கிடையாது。 அவரிடம் செல்லும் போதெல்லாம் அவர் சொல்வது ஒன்றே ஒன்று தான்。 மூச்சு காத்து பாருப்பா。இந்நூலில் Thich naht சொல்வதும் அதே。 ஆனால் மிக விரிவாக， எளிமையுடன் விளக்குகிறார்。 அனைவரும் பயிற்சி செய்யலாம்。இன்றைய உலகின் தேவையும்。

A little bit too repetitive for me， which became extremely annoying by the end of the book and I couldn't wait to finish it。 This whole book could have been a 10minute youtube video。 Respect to the author but this book just was not for me。 A little bit too repetitive for me， which became extremely annoying by the end of the book and I couldn't wait to finish it。 This whole book could have been a 10minute youtube video。 Respect to the author but this book just was not for me。 。。。more

The book is a great introduction to Mindfulness。 But let me tell you my concern with this book and similar ones。 Current generation no longer needs introductory books on this topic。 By 2021， many people who heard the term mindfulness might have been following the practice with learnings from the internet。 Articles， blogs and modern day apps have made this concept sound so simple and easy to follow。 This led to creation of self-taught practitioners。 All such practitioners， beyond a basic level， u The book is a great introduction to Mindfulness。 But let me tell you my concern with this book and similar ones。 Current generation no longer needs introductory books on this topic。 By 2021， many people who heard the term mindfulness might have been following the practice with learnings from the internet。 Articles， blogs and modern day apps have made this concept sound so simple and easy to follow。 This led to creation of self-taught practitioners。 All such practitioners， beyond a basic level， understand mindfulness in wrong ways。 In this present era， i believe books should no longer talk about what mindfulness is， instead they should cover what mindfulness is not and other pitfalls。 A deeper dive is needed to hone our skills to intermediate/expert level。（Do let me know if you know of such books。） 。。。more

This is going to be a book I come back to during heightened moments of stress and anxiety。 Some of the counting exercises were a bit overwhelming for me at first， but with practice I think they will really help。 I enjoyed this very much。

Not for beginnersThis book has an amazing start， the first half provides really good knowledge for beginners。 Yet after like 60% the content becomes more complex with a very hard to understand for 2 thing，the English used was hard to understand as a non native speaker and the content is very advanced in the mindfulness practice

Once again Thay's work inspires one to take a deeper look towards one's Mind， Emotion， Perceptions。 No wonder this book has been a symbol of awareness。 Must read。 Once again Thay's work inspires one to take a deeper look towards one's Mind， Emotion， Perceptions。 No wonder this book has been a symbol of awareness。 Must read。 。。。more

I am new to meditation。 This book provided some useful ideas but much of it， although I grasped the concepts， was beyond my ability at this time to accomplish。 I expect that I will come back to it periodically when I need help on how to make progress。 More than providing me with ideas on meditation， this book introduced me to mindfulness， which was definitely beneficial。

This is a book that will be dipped into again and again， so meaningful and full of inspiration ❤️

It seems silly that one would need to be reminded to bring awareness & purpose to everything in their life， but I needed it！ Hanh is a master of his craft & brilliantly illustrates his practice for the reader to not only take in but be completely one with。 I’m grateful that I have these words to bring into my daily practice & that I didn’t judge this book by its genre。

It has a very different to meditation and mindfulness and brings up few stories that stick to your mind and guide you in meditation。

Not my favorite spiritual book。 Definitely some helpful gems here and there， but the constant focusing on the breath honestly started to make me feel breathless。 I’m sure I am a bit of a minority in feeling like this。

A really valuable read with a few critiques。 I felt as though a lot of the concepts and meditations in here are not accessible to beginners （which makes sense considering the text was a letter to another monk but your average human is not going to be able to sit in meditation for multiple hours a day）。 I've listened to a lot of different podcasts about mindfulness and I appreciate when they encourage you to start small - one minute， even just one breath。 Also， the second half got super repetitiv A really valuable read with a few critiques。 I felt as though a lot of the concepts and meditations in here are not accessible to beginners （which makes sense considering the text was a letter to another monk but your average human is not going to be able to sit in meditation for multiple hours a day）。 I've listened to a lot of different podcasts about mindfulness and I appreciate when they encourage you to start small - one minute， even just one breath。 Also， the second half got super repetitive and was a bit tedious to read。 I loved the overall concepts and think they are so important， just not exactly a true "introduction" to mindfulness if that's what you're looking for。 。。。more

Sách của Thầy luôn nhẹ nhàng và ý nghĩa như thế。 Đọc để biết trân trọng từng hơi thở mầu nhiệm và con đường đơn giản nhất để sống trong chánh niệm。

Super Highly recommended！ Being mindful is not for an hour or so when you sit alone。。。But in every moment， work possible during the day。。。With detachment and focus。 Such a profound wisdom in simple terms。

nghe chừng đơn giản nhưng để làm được thì cần thật nhiều nghị lực và sự kiên tâm， khi mà ta cố quay vào bên trong thì ngoài kia vẫn diễn ra đủ trò để lôi mình ra cùng quẩyvì thế mà chúng ta cần nhiều làng Mai được mở thêm nữa
