Thich Nhat Hanh Peace is Every Step: The Path Of Mindfulness In Everyday Life
In Peace Is Every Step, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. For him, a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to “mindfulness”—the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now.Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries, meditations, personal anecdotes, and stories from Nhat Hanh’s experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is—in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking in a park—and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. The deceptively simple practices of Peace Is Every Step encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as they continue to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the “mindless” into the mindful.

Lori Gottlieb Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
New York Times Bestseller "Therapy", writes the author, "elicits odd reactions because, in a way, it's like pornography. Both involve a kind of nudity. Both have the potential to thrill. And both have millions of users, most of whom keep their use private." The book does have an odd feeling of voyeurism, although she hastens to point out that both patient permission and identity blurring are embedded in her stories. From a newlywed diagnosed with cancer to an older adult intent on suicide by next birthday to others with damaging relationships and substance abuse, the book is more like peering over a therapist's shoulder during the process of dismantling barriers and finding the storm within. Author of a "Dear Therapist" column in the Atlantic, she is well-qualified to write this fascinating book.
