The writing of Thich Nhat Hanh is deceptive. He will tell you how to eat with care, how to breathe and walk, and how to see the sun as your heart. Richard Baker commented that Nhat Hanh is a cross between a cloud, a snail, and a piece of heavy machinery. It begins to sink in that Nhat Hanh is conveying a depth of psychology and a world outlook that requires a complete paradigm shift. He builds up his philosophy of interbeing through his cute stories and compassionate admonitions. The ramifications are very serious. When we are bound up with everyone and everything else, how can we pursue our own ends? If we had the same history, we could see an enemy not as a focus of anger but as a human with a complex history. You will never look at a plastic bag the same way again, and you may even develop a penchant for hugging trees after reading Peace Is Every Step. Review.

There are commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes, and stories from Buddhist Nhat Hanh’s experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader in Peace Is Every Step. It begins where the reader already is and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Through conscious breathing, Nhat Hanh can increase our awareness of our body and mind, which can bring joy and peace. Nhat Hanh shows how to be aware of relationships with others and the world around us, as well as its beauty and pollution. Peace Is Every Step encourages 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 conscious. Any Buddhist studies or self-help reference shelf should include Peace Is Every Step.
