Peace Is Every Step

'This is a very worthwhile book. It can change individual lives and the life of our society.' The Dalai Lama

Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is - in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking in a park - 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 the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the 'mindness' into the mindful.

Reviews

This is a very worthwhile book. It can change individual lives and the life of our society

—— The Dalai Lama

Written with all the clarity and elegance of which Dawkins is a master. It should have a place in every school library - especially in the library of every "faith" school

—— Philip Pullman

A resounding trumpet blast for truth... It feels like coming up for air

—— Matt Ridley

A spirited and exhilarating read... Dawkins comes roaring forth in the full vigour of his powerful arguments, laying into fallacies and false doctrines with the energy of the polemicist at his most fiery

—— Joan Bakewell , Guardian

This is my favourite book of all time... a heroic and life-changing work

—— Derren Brown

One of the best non-fiction writers alive today

—— Steven Pinker

Everyone should read it. Aethists will love Mr Dawkins's incisive logic and rapier wit and theists will find few better tests of the robustness of their faith

—— The Economist

This is a brave and important book. Is it too much to hope that it will dump religious bigotry in the dustbin of history where it belongs?

—— Desmond Morris

Could not be more apt for out times - Dawkins pulls out all the stops to demonstrate the force of his thesis in this passionate new book... lively and highly readable

—— The Sunday Times

An entertaining, wildly informative, splendidly written polemic... we are elegantly cajoled, cleverly harangued into shedding ourselves of this superficial nonsense that has bedevilled us since our first visit to Sunday school

—— Rod Liddle , The Sunday Times
