He saw the hectic pace of our day-to-day lives taking a toll. In response the renowned teacher wrote Peace Is Every Breath.

Offering personal anecdotes meditations & advice for mindfully connecting with our present experience Thich Nhat Hanh guides us through the potential pitfalls along the way to show how we can harness the joy & peace that is possible with every breath we take. Now more than ever he believes that the power of mindfulness can heal us from the suffering caused by the many stresses that surround us.

Lucidly & beautifully written PEACE IS EVERY STEP contains commentaries & meditations personal anecdotes & stories from Nhat Hanhs experiences as a peace activist teacher & community leader. It begins where the reader already is
- in the kitchen office driving a car walking in a park
- & shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body & mind through conscious breathing which can bring immediate joy & peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others & of the world around us its beauty & also its pollution & injustices. The deceptively simple practices of PEACE IN EVERY STEP encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the mindness into the mindful. This is a very worthwhile book. It can change individual lives & the life of our society. H. H. the Dalai Lama.
