Peace Is Every Breath: A Practice For Our Busy Lives (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Helpful to me because not only does it talk about mindfulness, happiness, being present in our lives and families, it gives concrete practices that help me. I'm already doing one of them regularly. When I start to feel "off," I take a deep breath in and out and say (in my head), "Breathing in, I relax my mind and body, breathing out, I smile." I'm really learning to center myself and deal with my feelings when I am more under control. FYI: From a Buddhist point of view. Not really mystical, but beware. This one really suffered from not being read by Hanh. I have listened to a couple of his other works, one a book and one a lecture, where he is the narrator/speaker and his speaking style is just out of this world awesome. A lot of it still comes through in his writing, but you miss so much of the great care with which he treats his world and the wonderful pacing that he uses.Still, lots of wonderful teachings and firm, real world examples that I would love to have form the very core of who I am.
