Synopsis

The Zen master and one of the world's most beloved teachers returns with a concise, practical guide to understanding and developing our most powerful inner resource—silence—to help us find happiness, purpose, and peace.Many people embark on a seemingly futile search for happiness, running as if there is somewhere else to get to, when the world they live in is full of wonder. To be alive is a miracle. Beauty calls to us every day, yet we rarely are in the position to listen. To hear the call of beauty and respond to it, we need silence.Silence shows us how to find and maintain our equanimity amid the barrage of noise. Thich Nhat Hanh guides us on a path to cultivate calm even in the most chaotic places. This gift of silence doesn't require hours upon hours of silent meditation or an existing practice of any kind. Through careful breathing and mindfulness techniques he teaches us how to become truly present in the moment, to recognize the beauty surrounding us, and to find harmony. With mindfulness comes stillness—and the silence we need to come back to ourselves and discover who we are and what we truly want, the keys to happiness and well-being.

I adore Thich Nhat Hanh and have read 13 of his books, with The Art of Communicating as my favorite, followed by Fear and Reconciliation. One thing to know about his books is that he frequently uses the same material in multiple books, told in slightly different ways. These anecdotes and the related......more

Some years ago I used to walk my dogs with audiobooks in my ears, P.G. Wodehouse especially. It was great fun, though I think I must have looked a little strange laughing my head off while walking down the street with my dog on a lease. Then I started to leave the audiobooks behind. Why? Because I r......more

The author's words are like water that flows and refreshes me daily. I have been reading this for 10 days. I tried to silence my mind as it suggests, and it was equally difficult as doing a plank. Indeed this is a discipline and an exercise i must learn as a habit. As i want to nourish my body, my m......more

I’m a Christian who believes “all truth is God’s truth”. In other words, there is beauty, truth and wonderful things to learn from all sorts of people. Even Buddhist monks. Maybe especially Buddhist monks?* This book has been my “spiritual” reading for the last few weeks, as I read a couple of pages i......more
