1. There’s wisdom in these pages - Many of us are seekers. We are searching for a deeper understanding of the nature of life and the possibilities for peace and happiness. This book helped me by demonstrating the power of a simple concept: living in the moment. The discussion is clear and concise, easy to understand but gives one much to ponder over. This is certainly a book I’ll come back and revisit as I’ve highlighted my favorite passages.

Comments

1. Wisdom for Troubled Times - Listened to this important healing book as an audiobook via public library. Wish iBooks sold it too. It’s one to listen to over and over. Pema Chodron’s wisdom of many years of life presented here most succinctly and clearly stating the way to equanimity and goodness isn’t thru hatred, anger, even the very righteous kind. No, Pema tells you here exactly how to to get ‘er done.This may be her best book and I’ve read or heard many Pema books. Thank you Pema Chodron.

2. So disappointed more like a recipe for letting the fascists destroy the vulnerable - I have meditated for over years and think the message in this book gives permission to the fascists and racists of the world that they are perfectly ok as who they are and the rest of us should not stand against them.

9. The Art of Communicating - Thích Nhất Hạnh

Release date: 2013-08-13 $13.99
Comments

1. Practical tips for connecting with others and ourselves - In a world where we are often presented with flashy marketing jargon and grand promises, it is refreshing to read advice that keeps a focus on the basics. Communicating consists of such advice; it is unlikely that you will find the ideas within revolutionary, but you will be left with actionable tips that you can use right now and every day for the rest of your life. In this sense, the book is simple but also beautiful. I have just finished my first read-through, but I’ve highlighted favorite passages that I anticipate coming back to from time to time. These will serve as reminders on ways to deepen my understanding of myself, as well as ways I can create a genuine and loving environment for those closest to me and the people I interact with through the rest of my life.

1. INSANELY VALUABLE - This Tibetan Buddhist Lama is absolutely brilliant. If you want to understand the key to happiness, you must study your mind. He tells you exactly how and why to study your mind. He tells you precisely why material items will never make us happy. I would give this stars if I could. Great for any new or experienced Buddhist.

Comments

1. Research/beginner - To be clear, I know nothing of Buddhism. I do not believe in religion. I do believe in spirituality, however. I have had a very rough time in my life the last few month. I decided it was time for a drastic change. I need to change my thoughts and emotions. But how? My question lead me to this book. The book is great. I learned a ton and will read it again; my only difficulty is my ignorance in within Buddhism. I didn’t understand some words and phrases, but I’m sure the scriptures are difficult to translate into English. I haven’t decided if Buddhism is the path for me, but this was an excellent book for my research and understanding. Thank you.

1. Sakyong Mipham is Inspiring - Practical advice for bringing dignity and cheerfulness into these challenging times. Sakyong Mipham presents the Shambhala Principle in a casual tone and with a non-religious slant. Overall an inspiring reminder that humanity is good, and that we could see the current economic and social strife we're facing as a society as an opportunity for positive transformation.

Comments

1. Great reminder of mindfulness - First half of book contains a clear and compelling framework for mindfulness, compassion and acceptance. Took many notes on first half. Last half focuses excessively on personal stories which I found myself scanning pages at a time. I liked the book but would prefer to hear the main points without wading through -page stories every time.

Comments

1. Must read for any spiritual practice - I can say without doubt that this is one of the most impactful and transforming books I have ever read. It’s not a comparison of two faiths, it’s a deep look into what makes a strong spiritual practice, using Christianity and Buddhism as examples. For those searching for a spiritual practice, or those with an already strong spiritual practice, this book is a must read.

2. Probably the best gloss of Buddhism from a Christian POV - Don't let the title throw you if you're a Christian; Thich Nhat Hanh isn't trying to sell some kind of idolatry, nor is he out to commit blasphemy. Rather, in this book, he's drawing a comparison and contrast between two major world belief systems and showing what they have in common. I found my understanding of Buddhism increased by this book — but what was interesting was that I found my understanding of Christianity also improved. A good text, light to read, and one that isn't proselytizing or trying to evangelize either religion.

1. Life-changing - The Miracle of Mindfulness is a truly life changing book. In simple and straightforward terms, the author describes the basics of meditation, leading to true relaxation.
