Recommends it for:
everyone, regardless of belief - it's that good!
This is a WONDERFUL book! It really helps you to realize that the finer things in life, isn't what money can buy but what is around you. I would recommend this book to everyone I know, regardless of their beliefs, it's just that good.
Buddhist concepts that are explained in concrete examples. His observations are succinct and his suggestions are doable. For instance, he says that if you watch violence on TV, you fill yourself with violence...why do that? I read it every year for quite a while and need to get it back out. It is remarkable.
A wonderful, simple, and knowledgeable book that imparts a huge deal of wisdom that we could all use nowadays. It's a little like a handbook for living mindfully, but instead of rules or dictates, there are little stories that inspire and encourage.

The book was very enjoyable. Loved the Jubie character with her relationship with Mary.
Another great book by Thich Nhat Hanh. I purchased this one to have at the ready on my bedside table. I gave my last little book of Hanh's to my granddaughter. The wise little (8 years old) sweety is learning about the wise monk.
Nice book. Helped me to wash dishes and generally to chill out!

Peace, Mindfulness and Relaxation.
Thought provoking book which really makes you think about the world in which we lived in and our own wellbeing. Everyone should read this.
Nice little reminders on how to live a more peaceful life. I just pick it one every now and then and read a few pages. Some of it is a little much for me; I am not going to spend hours meditating on a piece of fruit while I eat it. But, still good stuff to think about.
A quick and easy read that helps bring attention to the details of our every day lives. By becoming mindful of our immediate behavior and surroundings, we can become master's of our lives and find true peace and happiness where we would normally overlook it.
It took me a few pages to get into the gentle rhythm of this book, but once I did, I loved it! Includes many great and simple truths to help us all find peace. Beautifully written.
everyday living. a wonderful book that has made
a difference in my life when there's so much
suffering in this world.
