If there is only one book to take with you on the journey of life, this would be it.

The first of Thich's books to actually be...boring. Sure, the man is a genius and there were many highlightable quotes, but I wish I didn't spend the money on this. Instead I wish I bought his excellent children's book Is Nothing Something?

The Miracle of Mindfulness is a truly life changing book. In simple and straightforward terms, the author describes the basics of meditation, leading to true relaxation. Although based on Buddhist tradition, this book is useful to all faiths and belief backgrounds. This is now a rare "cornerstone" book in my personal library.

This book opened my eyes to the practice of mindfulness. I keep reading and rereading it. Thank you Thich Naht Hanh. Peace.
