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

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. Peace Is Every Breath is therefore a timely book filled with timeless wisdom & practical advice that is destined to become a classic. ...

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.

It isnt often you receive a letter from the dead. When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave she has no choice but to follow the wind that blows her back to Lansquenet the village in south-west France where eight years ago she opened up a chocolate shop. But Vianne is completely unprepared for what she finds there. Women veiled in black the scent of spices & peppermint tea & there on the bank of the river Tannes facing the square little tower of the church of Saint-Jerome like a piece on a chessboard
- slender bone-white & crowned with a silver crescent moon
- a minaret. Nor is it only the incomers from North Africa that have brought big changes to the community. Father Reynaud Viannes erstwhile adversary is now disgraced & under threat. Could it be that Vianne is the only one who can save him?
