Pragmatic inner peace by Gary V. Nguyen (Vancouver, BC, Canada)

I purchased this book about 5 months ago when it called to me from a bookshelf. I just finished reading it, and what a great read. Thich Nhat Hanh is able to speak from a spiritual perspective in every day language with pragmatic examples. The intermingling of traditional Zen Buddhist stories with everyday situations provides a great medium to understanding the power in stillness and acceptance. I have unknowningly been applying the concepts in my life over the past few months and reading this again reiterated that I have finally stumbled upon the correct path to happiness and inner peace. The beauty of all this is with that happiness and inner peace comes great power, and by that, I mean it has empowered me to succeed and accomplish more than I could have ever imagined by "trying and putting my head down and trying to power through something". Want to reduce the stress in your life and regain control of deep spiraling fear? Read this book.

Mindfulness - THANK YOU THICH by J. Brown (Frederick, MD)

This is the first book of Thich's that I've had a chance to read. My husband had been telling me about him for a while now. We have Peace is Every Step and I can't wait to get started on that one and buy more! Everything he writes about is so enlightening. Reading this book I started realizing how much I rely on others for happiness when I really need to find it in myself to be truly happy. It makes you think more clearly. I'm also reading a book from the Dalai Lama ("How to see yourself as you really are"). I'm enjoying this one too, but I've found Thich's style of writing draws me in more. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

The chapter on meditation alone is worth the price of the book. Even if you are practicing meditation, please read the book. The method really works.
