Publisher's Summary
In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. 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 listener already is - in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking - 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 listeners to work for peace in the world as they continue to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the "mindless" into the mindful.

Teaches about much more than just peace!
Thich Nhat Hanh gently shows, how just by being mindful about everything in life, can make world around us peaceful.
There are multiple meditation techniques explained beautifully. Those are easy to implement as well.
It also teaches, how to avoid the damages done by anger.
InterBe is also an enlightening concept this book sheds light on.
This book touches life of the reader in a very positive way.
One of the best picks in the spirituality genre.

Reinforcement
One more from the teachings of the great Thich Nhat Hanh, this book maintains the consistency of the great monk's teachings of mindfulness. Nothing new emerged but the consistency itself was attractive. A good read.

Deceptively simple but profound in actuality
The writing is beautiful in its simplicity. Loving-kindness (metta) can be seen in every page and anecdote.
Very practical but impactful ideas are propounded which can be implemented by everyone. I certainly benefitted from the exercises suggested by Thay.
This book is probably not for long-time followers of Thich Nhat Hanh but for those who are new to his teachings

60% teaching, 40% political and personal agenda
I enjoyed the book up until political and personal agenda took over and the teachings stopped. If one can extract the teachings it's not too bad of a book. Highly disappointed at how the book changed and wandered off the path.

Perfect on all counts
Thich Nhat Han is always without peer, but this isn't always true of Audible narrators. Mr. Ballerina was perfect as the narrator. His voice is mature, natural, and warm.

Great approach to mindfulness
Would you consider the audio edition of Peace Is Every Step to be better than the print version?
I actually think this would be a great book to have in print. Everything is broken into small sections, so I could see myself bookmarking various pages, highlighting things, and then referring back to them often
What was one of the most memorable moments of Peace Is Every Step?
Overall I liked how the book was formatted. Small mini paragraphs that focused on mindfulness in various aspects of everyday life
Which scene was your favorite?
I really enjoyed the section where he talked about 'interbeing' and how everything is related to everything else
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
N/A
Any additional comments?
This is a book I can see myself going back to many times in the future. Full of great life advice, tidbits of wisdom, learned knowledge, and general advice on living a more mindful existence and being a better person. Great for people who are just becoming interested in mindfulness and meditation as well as for people more familiar with the topic. A must have addition to anyone's library

A pleasant read
Thich Nhat Hanh presents a simple book which is vry easy to read and listen. The only caveat to this book is that it lacks depth. For those with a deep, inquisitive mind, I recommend "Conversations with a Mystic" by Sadhguru and Cheryl Simone.

Honestly I was expecting more
What disappointed you about Peace Is Every Step?
This is not a bad book, if you never read anything about meditation it's a great way to start but I would definitely not rate it 5 stars as most people did. The book could have been shortened quite a bit (and it's already short). I think the narrator did a good job and it's not his fault if the book could have had a richer content. I think it's not very helpful when people rate everything 5 stars and in this case the average rating of the book in my opinion is exaggerated
Would you ever listen to anything by Thich Nhat Hanh again?
no
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment, but I had high expectations

Buddhist monks teachings
Thought I would join the bandwagon for mindfulness, calm and inner peace with this book.
Listening to this American man narrating, with his smarmy tone did not get me off to a good start.
I am sure Thich Nhat Hanh has many meaningful and insightful things to say about our every day lives and how we can live in a better way, but for me there were a few anomalies.
When he spoke about bells ringing, and finding that time to calm, focus our breathing and reach in to ground ourselves, that I can grasp.
However when he said "waiti for the third ring before answering.the phone" and then his comment that it must be hard for telephone operators to find calm and mindfulness, I stated switching off to the fact he was not looking at our modern lives holistically
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist monk, who lives and breathes his work and he is not the everyday “ normal “ person.
So personally for me I found it a bit difficult to grasp all his theoretical ideology in our modern day world, There is an unfortunate theory practice gap displayed by Thich Nhat Hanh of which his understanding and interpretion has a cognitive bias
A phrase comes to mind regarding this book…..You need to walk in someone else’s shoes before you judge them,.... better still …. You need to take your own shoes off before you walk in someone else’s and make any judgements.
Thich Nhat Hanh thoughts and ways are very beautiful and genuine, However we must remind ourselvesr he has been a practising Buddhist all his life and now as a monk, he is in the upper echelons of Buddhism
What galls me is the people who will read/listen to this book and then preach to everyone that they in touch with their Yin and Yang, practice mindfulness and are at peace with themselves and life. Then the moment there is a bit of difficulty in life they become the shouty stressy ones....... The Dunning Kruger curve comes to mind for these individuals, as well as the similarity of those people who read a few medical bits on the internet and suddenly become google doctor
Anyway with that said, I am sure I will be slated for this review.
So enjoy a few calm hours listening to this, before you get on with your every day life again.

Mindfulness
I came into this book very skeptical that it would help my anxiety. I saw this as “hippy nonsense” for tree huggers. How I was wrong…
I listened to this book driving to work, when my anxiety hit me the worst. For that whole week I felt happy, I felt calm, I felt aware of my anxiety and welcomed it rather that fight it.
I would say I am going to go and walks, hug trees and write poems of flowers. But I will respect my thoughts and be mindful of others. This is a highly rated book and it has helped me more than anything I have ever tried. Absolute respect.
As I breathe out I smile.
