Publisher's Summary

The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practices and inspiration transforming suffering and finding true joy.

Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.

Nhat Hanh shares how the practices of stopping, mindful breathing, and deep concentration can generate the energy of mindfulness within our daily lives. With that energy, we can embrace pain and calm it down, instantly bringing a measure of freedom and a clearer mind.

No Mud, No Lotus introduces ways to be in touch with suffering without being overwhelmed by it. "When we know how to suffer," Nhat Hanh says, "we suffer much, much less." With his signature clarity and sense of joy, Thich Nhat Hanh helps us recognize the wonders inside us and around us that we tend to take for granted and teaches us the art of happiness.

Beautiful book, needs narration change

The book is very well written, but this audiobook would be vastly improved if read by a native English speaking person, as currently, the accent is too difficult to understand at times and detracts from the book.

A better voice artist needed

Slightly basic surface story on spirituality . For those looking for deeper insight I would give it a skip

Peace, breathe, and joy

One can rate a book by the number of times you pause the audio and jot down that idea so you don’t forget it. Lots of paused spots in this book.

EXCELLENT

An other excellent book by Thich Nhat Hanh.
What else can I say, other than that I highly recommend getting this book and many more books by him.
So glad that he left this great legacy.
This is certainly a book I will listen to again.
Mr. Saunil Daru did an excellent job.
My thanks to all involved, JK.

A guide to appreciate life

As other books by Thich Nhat Hanh this one gives a series of practices that you can do to be aware of the conditions we all have to be happy.

I’m used to the voice of Eduardo Valerine from other audio books of Thich Nhat, so it took me a while to get used to this narrator.

Enjoy the message on this book, I hope it help you find peace an joy.

I needed to hear that (audiobook)

Going through a painful phase and this audiobook has immediately helped me. I feel calmer and more hopeful. I had no expectations when i started listening to it, i just wanted to listen to some wisdom whilst doodling. Now i want to go on walks and pay attention to my breathing.

Pleasurable

Great insights to help focus on being genuinely happy for self and towards others without the expectation of constant flows of happiness being how to achieve it.
Short listen/read and something you can dip into.
Useful mantras.

Great book,

Inspiring and motivating well worth committing to practicing all pointers.
Just what I needed at this point in my life.
Narration wasn’t perfect but clear enough.
