{"product_id":"9780553351392","title":"Peace Is Every Step","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available  in each moment. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorld-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat  Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure  and antagonize us. For him 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lucidly and beautifully written,\u003ci\u003e Peace Is Every Step\u003c\/i\u003e 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 a part—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 \u003ci\u003ePeace Is Every Step\u003c\/i\u003e encourage the reader to work for peace in  the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the “mindless” into the mindFUL.","brand":"Thich Nhat Hanh","offers":[{"title":"Random House Publishing Group |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  1992-03-01","offer_id":44151203201279,"sku":"9780553351392","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_e3525642-28eb-436c-a64a-5203c39f9eea.jpg?v=1628401875","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780553351392","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
