Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh

October 6, 2024 by Halbs Leave a Comment

For several years, I participated in a local mediation non-profit organization. One of my fellow volunteers was a career coach, and informally, a life coach. She had the calmest, welcoming demeanor. In every interaction, you left feeling that she wanted the best for you. I very much valued her input on my life, as well as her friendship. She was a big reader of Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, so I have started reading him, as well. I started with the slim yet dense Being […]

A Lot to Take In

The Heart of the Buddha’s Teachings: Transforming Suffering Into Peace, Joy and Liberation by Thich Nhat Hanh

April 1, 2023 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Those interested in learning more about Buddhism. In a nutshell: Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh shares an overview of some of the basic tenets of Buddhism. Worth quoting: I underlined and starred so, so much. Why I chose it: I’ve read some very basic writings on Buddhism many years ago; I’m not more interested in learning more to see if it is a spiritual path I’d like to learn more about. What it left me feeling: Calm. Review: I tend to think of […]
