[close] Reading Peace is a book club exploring topics in mindfulness and Buddhism in daily life in a way that is accessible and relevant to today. We meet online and offline as a community reading together for the benefit of all beings in order to create a more just and joyful world. We are the official book club of Parallax Press, a nonprofit publisher founded by Thich Nhat Hanh. As a result, group members gain exclusive access to steep discounts on book club picks and other perks every month. The club picks a Parallax Press book to read as a group every month, receiving a significant discount on that book for the duration of the month so that as many people can participate. This group is currently on hiatus.
