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

Like a sauna for your soul.

Makes perfect sense. Breathe, stop, think, detach, evaluate, then act. But the reminders of these principles helps to calm one. Maybe it's because I listened in the sauna that leaves me with such a peaceful message. ???
The youngest of Buddhist monks was standing in line to see Santa at the mall. His older brothers in saffron robes waiting. His wish list in his hand. After he was seated on Santa's knee he handed Santa a blank piece of paper. "This paper is blank, said Santa". "Yes Santa it is freedom from desire that I wish to speed me on my journey to enlightment". "So there is no THING I want for Christmas". When Santa stopped sobbing he released the little saint from his embrace and told him he would do all he could to make his wish come true. It is not fulfillment of desire that produces happiness but rather freedom from desire.

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

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.
