Summary
We live in a permanent state of fear and anxiety。 We fear our past， sickness， aging， death—a fear of losing what we care about most。 The well-known Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh assures us that things don’t have to be this way。 Based on the idea of a complete life of practice and self-awareness， mindfulness， and Zen， the author teaches us how to practice living in the present to integrate and acknowledge our fears， making them powerless。 Any concern about our past or anxiety about our future will disappear when we discover the power of living in the present。

Took a long walk with this one and I needed it。

An outstanding look at what causes fear and how to overcome it。 One of the most important books I have ever read。

Very insightful。 This book can serve as a helpful reminder of that which is important and that which is not。 Also， for some reason， I feel it is necessary to note that I did not choose to read this as a result of a virus。

Es un libro muy útil si lo lees en un momento de ansiedad o temor， ayuda a calmar la mente y da pautas muy claras sobre cómo practicar la meditación y la importancia de vivir en el presente。 Es una lectura fácil y rápida。

Excellent reminder of some Buddhist teachings I had forgotten。 Fear of the past （guilt） and fear of the future （anxiety） can keep us hostage。

I am not sure if I am being objective here。Maybe I would enjoy this book of all of those information were new to me。It seemed very basic。Nothing "revolutionary"。Maybe a good read for someone who would like to enter in the world of psychology and is not aware yet of the work of it。 I am not sure if I am being objective here。Maybe I would enjoy this book of all of those information were new to me。It seemed very basic。Nothing "revolutionary"。Maybe a good read for someone who would like to enter in the world of psychology and is not aware yet of the work of it。 。。。more

This book had a lot of great reminders about mindfulness， and some good insights into the ultimate root of most fears that people experience。 There were also some very useful exercises described to help you get into more mindful thought patterns， and a lot of recommendations to practice mindfulness in conjunction with a supportive group of people。 Much wisdom is to be found here， even if I don't necessarily have an interest in joining a religious community of any kind。 There were also aspects of This book had a lot of great reminders about mindfulness， and some good insights into the ultimate root of most fears that people experience。 There were also some very useful exercises described to help you get into more mindful thought patterns， and a lot of recommendations to practice mindfulness in conjunction with a supportive group of people。 Much wisdom is to be found here， even if I don't necessarily have an interest in joining a religious community of any kind。 There were also aspects of this book that didn't really work for me。 Referring to my inner childish self， or to people I love， as "darling，" etc。 feels so weird to me that it affected my ability to concentrate on the book， which scripts a lot of things that way。 Thich Nhat Hanh also views TV as poison and antithetical to mindfulness， which I can see in many cases， but he kind of lumps TV and pleasure reading all into the category of "escapism" and if that's the case， I am not ready to achieve enlightenment AT ALL。 A quick read， and worth it， but it either doesn't totally work for me or I'm not ready to hear it yet。 。。。more

Beautiful book i enjoyed reading it It has a lot of breathing exercises and meditations， i really liked how they focused on living the present and the now。What i didn’t like that there’s lots of repetition of the same idea。

This is my 3rd Thuch Nhat Hanh book。 I very much enjoyed this one and purposely chose it because of the title。 I felt would be timely。 And it was。

Once again the simplicity and beauty and depth of one of my favorite philosophers comes through brilliantly in this calming book on combating fears of all types。 I most enjoyed:1） the language - clear and concise， this seems like an easy read， but the depth and wisdom of sentences and passages will give me thoughts to savor for life2） the breathing exercises - helpful in the moment and priceless for my yoga practice3） the essential discussion on Sangha was poignant at such a time as this post-pa Once again the simplicity and beauty and depth of one of my favorite philosophers comes through brilliantly in this calming book on combating fears of all types。 I most enjoyed:1） the language - clear and concise， this seems like an easy read， but the depth and wisdom of sentences and passages will give me thoughts to savor for life2） the breathing exercises - helpful in the moment and priceless for my yoga practice3） the essential discussion on Sangha was poignant at such a time as this post-pandemic life 4） the wrap-up of the Five Essentials to reflect on - I would love to say these during my wedding to my partner and in front of all present 。。。more

I love every Thich Nhat Hanh book。 I think Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm was actually one of the first of his books I saw on the library shelf years ago。 But I didn't read it until my father-in-law started losing his battle with lung cancer。 So my reading of this is influenced by that， which made me appreciate some of the sentiments more than I might have at another point in time。 It's also timely to read during a global pandemic。There is a good portion in the middle of Fe I love every Thich Nhat Hanh book。 I think Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm was actually one of the first of his books I saw on the library shelf years ago。 But I didn't read it until my father-in-law started losing his battle with lung cancer。 So my reading of this is influenced by that， which made me appreciate some of the sentiments more than I might have at another point in time。 It's also timely to read during a global pandemic。There is a good portion in the middle of Fear that focuses on death。 The main concept to come out of this discussion is no-birth no-death。 This isn't reincarnation。 It's related to the notions of interbeing， emptiness， and no-self。 It's essentially the Bill Hicks quote from the beginning of the e song "Third Eye"。Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration， that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively， there is no such thing as death， life is only a dream， and we are the imagination of ourselves。 Speaking of quotes， I have 79 highlights from my Kindle edition。 Like most Thich Nhat Hahn books， I could have just highlighted the entire book。 His wisdom is so insightful and so clearly stated。 There's no esotericism to work through。 True， the same concepts get discussed multiple times， but they are important concepts and presented in different ways。The last chapter is the longest and is dedicated to several collections of meditations。 Hahn provides specific words to focus on while breathing。 Each exercise helps you concentrate and openly approach your own mind and body。I also like that he focuses on happiness。 It might be trite to say the best way to combat fear is to just be happy。 But Hahn teaches how to embrace your fear and anxiety to lessen their impact while encouraging you to appreciate the happiness you do have in your life。 Something as simple as being grateful for your eyesight helps break you out of the rut we all find ourselves in。 It's not a matter of being thankful you aren't blind， it's truly appreciating what your eyesight provides。Fear is a quick read。 Rather than pull a bunch of quotes or talk more myself， you should just go read it。 Especially if you find yourself in a turbulent time。 。。。more

Insightful， yet often vague and repetitive。

Although 'Fear' may be the title， 'gentleness' is what pervades this book。 Gentleness for myself， the earth， all of humanity。 Beautiful reading and practices for dealing with our fears。 Although 'Fear' may be the title， 'gentleness' is what pervades this book。 Gentleness for myself， the earth， all of humanity。 Beautiful reading and practices for dealing with our fears。 。。。more

This book truly offers the antidote to fear。 Skillful tools and practices to feel safe， cultivate inner peace， build supportive communities and foster deep sustained happiness。

Good read though it gets better toward the end。 Starts slow and sets the basic premises， then repeats things quite a bit。 Toward the end he delves into community and other issues that reflect the current world in a way the ties thing together。

I listened to the audiobook and really found it to be a great tool for practicing meditation。 The practices in this book allows one to remain in the present and now。 A simple reminder of mindfulness。

Mortality is the main fear that Thich Nhat Hanh addresses in this book。 For that， he takes a very spiritual approach that seems impractical and overly preachy， to be honest。 I do get his point， which can be summed up as: "For dust you are， and to dust you shall return。"In other words: we didn't always exist， and one day we will stop existing， and just become one with the world again。 Therefore， don't be afraid， because you're already part of everything that exists。 That is all well and good， but Mortality is the main fear that Thich Nhat Hanh addresses in this book。 For that， he takes a very spiritual approach that seems impractical and overly preachy， to be honest。 I do get his point， which can be summed up as: "For dust you are， and to dust you shall return。"In other words: we didn't always exist， and one day we will stop existing， and just become one with the world again。 Therefore， don't be afraid， because you're already part of everything that exists。 That is all well and good， but I feel like it's disingenuous from the publisher to market a book as being about Fear in general， when in reality it's about mortality。 The last section of the book didn't even relate to fear anymore， and it was more of a summarized version of his general teachings （you can find a way more in-depth version in Peace is Every Step， which is a MUCH better book than this）。 Overall， I can't say I recommend this book。 。。。more

I genuinely think every single person should read this book。 This is the first book I have read based on Buddhist philosophy。 Despite not knowing much about Buddhism I found it very accessible and easy to read。 Hanh not only covers the reasons why humans harbour so much fear but what we can do to manage this and achieve true joy in our lives。 The book covers the concept of fear specifically and wider Buddhist teachings such as active listening， compassion and understanding。 Hanh speaks on the in I genuinely think every single person should read this book。 This is the first book I have read based on Buddhist philosophy。 Despite not knowing much about Buddhism I found it very accessible and easy to read。 Hanh not only covers the reasons why humans harbour so much fear but what we can do to manage this and achieve true joy in our lives。 The book covers the concept of fear specifically and wider Buddhist teachings such as active listening， compassion and understanding。 Hanh speaks on the interactions between people and how unresolved fear hampers genuine connection and love。 There are many hard hitting truths such as the propensity for man to sedate himself with distractions to avoid facing fear but therefore not truly finding joy or peace。 This will be one of those books I keep on my shelf and refer to over again。 I have already seen results in my mindset as a result of Hanh's teachings， more than any other 'self-help' book I have read。 。。。more

If this was the first book I picked up by the author， I would really find it interesting。 But I have read some of his other books， and this just felt like repetition。 Only the title was different。

Like always， TNH's reading is so soothing and simple。 Great bedtime read。 The breathing practices right at the end of the book are quite practical。Lots about compassion and sangha and I will be going to it for more guidance。 Like always， TNH's reading is so soothing and simple。 Great bedtime read。 The breathing practices right at the end of the book are quite practical。Lots about compassion and sangha and I will be going to it for more guidance。 。。。more

At certain points I’d be like， “exactly！” And at other points I’d be like， “hmmmm？” Or “well， not really。。。 “。 There is probably some cultural gap too。 So I’ll be happy to try the book again or another book in the future， but it didn’t quite do it this time。 Missed the target。
