This book was an easy read. I truly believe the Holy Spirit drew me to it for such a time as this in my life. For years I have been contemplating taking medication for anxiety. What I read today reinforced a hope within and enlightened the path to peace and healing. The author did not just state the possible but also provided techniques to foster mindfulness. I practiced the walking and breathing exercise; it works! I look forward to using the rays of mindfulness to scan, embrace, and smile at every single part of me. While I do not know how I will practice the five trainings effectively, I do know seeds of mindfulness have been planted through this book. I am so grateful!

Such an amazing book.

Great information just Wish it was longer.

Very insightful, beautiful and well written.

I came across the practice of mindfulness after browsing meditation on the internet. I immediately connected to the principles. As I was constantly feeling disconnected from the moment in my life. I was constantly feeling anxious and distracted. I wanted to know more, but, I didn’t know what source to trust. After doing a little research, I found that Thich Nhat Hanh was one of the ambassadors of bringing the practice to the West. I came across this book. And, after reading it, I am deeply impressed. I feel like I am starting my journey towards being truly at peace and happy. I’ll be reading his book, “The Art of Power” next.

This book has made me cry with each paragraph. I felt like he was talking to me, telling me what I need to and should do better. ❤️❤️ great author. I have to get his actual books. I get distracted reading this on my phone 📱🙅🏾‍♀️ #dnd

This book has taught me a lot. After several teachings I finally understand, his allusions to specific stories allows the reader to fully enhance the text, along with his words. Such an amazing writer! Thich Nhat Hanh is the 🐐G.O.A.T !

Short & sweet

Good, but very short….. I expected a little more. Very basic.

Great intro to mindfulness!
