Synopsis
In the 1960s, Thich Nhat Hanh founded a School of Youth for Social Service in Vietnam. The school's members practised "engaged Buddhism" and helped to rebuild bombed villages, teach children and organize cooperatives during the Vietnam War. This book was first written as a letter to the School after Thich Nhat Hanh's exile to France. Thich Nhat Hanh, poet, Zen master and chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation during the Vietnam War was nominated by Dr Martin Luther King Jr for the Nobel Peace Prize.

New Approach5
This is an excellent read, the book is simple to follow and gives good techniques, which can be applied on a daily basis. While reading this book I felt connected page after page, as it envelops the reader of mindful thoughts and as we recognise each aspects of our thoughts. We will be able to overcome the negative perspectives, apply the positive thoughts resulting in overall empowerment, peaceful and blissful life.

simple and practical guide to increasing awareness5
This is a lovely book with many practical tips on meditating.

My particular favourite is the reference to 'washing the dishes to wash the dishes' - the idea of living in the present and enjoying tasks that we all want to put off. By focusing on the job in hand and not ruminating or thinking about what we are going to do next, Hanh rewards the reader with very simple but profound advice. - my dishes have never been cleaner and my mind is certainly less cluttered as a result!

Best book on meditation I've seen5
This is a fantastic introduction to meditation. It is not written in a dry, technical way, but rather with gentle anecdotes and suggestions that are easy to read, understand and enjoy. The small size of the book perhaps reflects the reality of simplicity being a component of the peace the book discusses and is in itself encouraging!! If you've ever wanted to know what meditation is, or how to get started, this must be one of the best places.
