A timeless introduction to Thich Nhat Hanh''s most important teachings, this spiritual classic reveals the connection between peace in oneself and peace in the world.Being Peace was one of Thich Nhat Hanh''s first books published in the United States. Intended for peace activists and as a commentary on the peace movement of the time, the book became a sensation, and continues to be an indispensable guide along the path more than thirty years later, as Thich Nhat Hanh himself has become an internationally renowned spiritual leader. Translated into more than thirty languages and with half a million copies sold in the US alone, reading Being Peace is like drinking a cool glass of water on a hot day. Many of the hallmarks of Thich Nhat Hanh''s teaching appear here for the first time, in his trademark clear and steady style. The book''s opening has become one of his most widely quoted teachings: "Life is filled with suffering, but it is also filled with many wonders, such as the blue sky, the sunshine, the eyes of a baby. To suffer is not enough."Available in this stunning hardcover commemorative edition for the first time and with a new foreword from Dr. Jane Goodall, this is the perfect introduction to Thich Nhat Hanh''s work, for yourself or for your loved ones.

The world-renowned Zen monk argues for a more mindful, spiritual approach to environmental protection and activism—one that recognizes people and planet as one and the same While many experts point to the enormous complexity in addressing issues ranging from the destruction of ecosystems to the loss of millions of species, Thich Nhat Hanh identifies one key issue as having the potential to create a tipping point. He believes that we need to move beyond the concept of the “environment,” as it leads people to experience themselves and Earth as two separate entities and to see the planet only in terms of what it can do for them. Thich Nhat Hanh points to the lack of meaning and connection in peoples’ lives as being the cause of our addiction to consumerism. He deems it vital that we recognize and respond to the stress we are putting on the Earth if civilization is to survive. Rejecting the conventional economic approach, Nhat Hanh shows that mindfulness and a spiritual revolution are needed to protect nature and limit climate change. Love Letter to the Earth is a hopeful book that gives us a path to follow by showing that change is possible only with the recognition that people and the planet are ultimately one and the same.

Zen a umění zachránit planetu je kniha složená z textů a promluv „otce mindfulness“, zenového učitele Thich Nhat Hanha. Mistrova slova doplňují komentáře jeho studentky, sestry Pravé Odhodlání. Díky nim máme příležitost vytvořit si plastický obraz samotného mnicha i života v jeho komunitě. Kniha byla dokončena krátce před Thich Nhat Hanhovou smrtí. Thayovi studenti shromáždili jeho nejpůsobivější učení o hluboké ekologii, angažovaném jednání, budování komunity a kolektivním probuzení. Přesto jde o texty, které nám mohou být užitečné i v obyčejném, každodenním životě. Thich Nhat Hanh totiž nevede ke slepé snaze „zachraňovat svět“, ale čtenářovu pozornost obrací k němu samému, k jeho vlastnímu jednání a prožívání. Dělá to proto, že základem umění záchrany planety je v prvé řadě schopnost zachránit sebe sama – transformovat svoji mysl, uvědomit si svou propojenost se Zemí a naučit se vzájemné spolupráci. Plné vědomí a radikální vhledy zenové meditace nám pak mohou posloužit jako zdroje síly k tomu, abychom tvořili nový svět, jehož součástí bude úcta k veškerému životu.

Autor je nejvýznamnějším vietnamským zenovým mistrem, básníkem a bývalým vedoucím buddhistické mírové delegace, zakladatelem Řádu Tiep Hien a Buddhistické university Van Hanh. Ve své knize učí, jak meditovat v každodenním životě. Thich Nhat Hanh se narodil v r. 1926 v Thua Thien ve Vietnamu. V období dospívání odešel z domova, aby se stal zenovým mnichem, v r. 1942 vstoupil do kláštera Tu Hieu. V r. 1964 založil v tehdejším Saigonu Buddhistickou univerzitu Van Hanh a Řád Tiep Hien. V témže roce zde založil, společně se skupinou univerzitních profesorů a studentů, Školu mládeže pro sociální služby založenou na buddhistických principech nenásilí a soucitné aktivity. Po skončení války sdružovaly tyto sbory více než deset tisíc mnichů, mnišek a mladých sociálních pracovníků, kteří pomáhali opravovat rozbombardované vesnice, stavěli školy a nemocnice, pomáhali rodinám bez domova a organizovali zemědělská družstva. R. 1966 jej pozvalo Společenství smíření a Cornellova univerzita na turné po USA, aby americkou veřejnost obeznámil s nesmírným utrpením svého lidu. Pro svou nekompromisní neutralitu se pak nemohl vrátit do vlasti (rodnou zemi mu bylo umožněno navštívit až v roce 2005). Usadil se proto ve Francii, kde mu byl r. 1983 udělen azyl. Poblíž Bordeaux založil zenové středisko Plum Village a stal se hlavou malého společenství adeptů meditace a mírových aktivistů. Podílel se mj. i na organizaci meditačních kurzů, jejichž náplní byla psychoterapie jak amerických veteránů, účastníků vietnamské války, tak i vietnamských uprchlíků. V r. 1967 byl Martinem Lutherem Kingem ml. nominován na Nobelovu cenu míru. Nhat Hanh je autorem více než šedesáti knih v angličtině, francouzštině a vietnamštině, z nichž několik bylo přeloženo i do češtiny (Mír v nás jako první z nich v r. 1992). V tomto sborníku přednášek, určených americkým mírovým aktivistům a adeptům meditace, podrobně rozebírá význam míru v sobě pro mír ve světě. "Každý den děláme, žijeme věci, které mají co dělat s mírem. Jestliže si uvědomujeme svůj způsob života, svůj způsob spotřeby, svůj pohled na věci, budeme vědět, jak mít v sobě mír právě teď, v okamžiku, ve kterém žijeme." "Máme-li v sobě mír, jsme-li šťastní, můžeme se usmívat, a každý v naší rodině a v celé společnosti bude mít z našeho úsměvu užitek."

We can spend a lot of time looking for happiness when the world right around us is full of wonder. But our hearts and minds are so full of noise that we can’t always hear the call of life and love. To hear that call and respond to it, we need silence. In his beautiful new book, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how mindfulness is the practice that stops the noise inside. With gentle anecdotes, simple Buddhist wisdom and practical exercises, he shows us how to live mindfully so that all the internal chatter ceases and we are left with the eloquent sound of silence. Now, at last, we can answer the call of the beauty around us. Through silence, Thich Nhat Hanh reveals, we are free to hear, to see - and just be.

How to get on well with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love? How to live? This question obsessed Renaissance nobleman Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-92), who wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. Into these essays he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog''s ears twitched when it was dreaming, events in the appalling civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller, and over four hundred years later, readers still come to him in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment - and in search of themselves. This first full biography of Montaigne in English for nearly fifty years relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored.

The Rule of St. Benedict (the rule) arose in an era when a great civilization was threatened by violence, economic forces that favored the wealthy, political leaders that lacked the trust of the public, and rampant xenophobia. The events that occurred in sixth-century Rome were much those like on the nightly news.Benedict was not a priest or religious official. He was just a young man disillusioned by a corrupt society that lacked compassion. He had a vision of a society in which human values reigned supreme; a vision of compassion, harmony, and hope.This is a book about living—not just surviving. It is a book about how to live a balanced, meaningful, and conscious life rooted in the ancient and time-tested wisdom of the rule.Valente''s book reflects her training as a journalist. The narrative is engaging, conversational, and filled with anecdotes. It reflects the sensibility of someone who has struggled with balancing work and family with finding true meaning and happiness that is not dependent on externals.In 21 chapters, she explores the key elements of the rule and clearly demonstrates how incorporating this ancient wisdom can change the quality and texture of our lives. Included here are discussions of humility, waking up, silence, simplicity, trust, prayer, forgiveness, building consensus, listening, and living with awe. These fresh and profound explorations are inspiring, thoughtful, and motivational.This book is aimed at beginner and mature spiritual seekers alike. It should also appeal to non-traditionally spiritual people—the so-called “nones” (people who list “none of the above” as their formal religion), who are seeking a saner way to live in an increasingly violent, divided, and confusing world.

With all that''s on his mind, perhaps it''s no surprise that when he meets his future self, he shoots him in the stomach. And that''s a beginner''s mistake for a time machine repairman. Now he''s stuck in a time loop, going in circles forever. All he has, wrapped in brown paper, is the book his future self was trying to press into his hands. It''s called How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. And he''s the author. And somewhere inside it is the information that could save him.

What can Alice in Wonderland teach us about childhood? Could reading Conversations with Friends guide us through first love? Does Esther Greenwood’s glittering success and subsequent collapse in The Bell Jar help us understand ambition? And, finally, what can we learn about death from Virginia Woolf?Literature matters. Not only does it provide escapism and entertainment, but it also holds a mirror up to our lives to show us aspects of ourselves we may not have seen or understood. From jealousy to grief, fierce love to deep hatred, our inner lives become both stranger and more familiar when we explore them through fiction. Josh Cohen, a psychoanalyst and Professor of Modern Literary Theory, delves deep into the inner lives of the most memorable and vivid characters in literature. His analysis of figures such as Jay Gatsby and Mrs Dalloway offers insights into the greatest questions about the human experience, ones that we can all learn from. He walks us through the different stages of existence, from childhood to old age, showing that literature is much more than a refuge from the banality and rigour of everyday life – through the experiences of its characters, it can show us ways to be wiser, more open and more self-aware.

Cut through the noise and explore mind-changing Buddhist teachings from one of the clearest voices from the Tibetan tradition. Written in her direct and personal style, it’s the perfect “first book” for anyone curious about Buddhism, as well as those with experience who will benefit from her powerful message.We’re bombarded with advice about how to live—how to find happiness, how to maintain relationships, how to help the world—and yet has this advice brought us peace? In How Not to Miss the Point, beloved Buddhist teacher Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche focuses on the Buddha’s core teachings, basic principles that are universally true, whether we are Buddhist or not, as a way to cultivate our inner light and work for good, no matter how the world unfolds around us.Because the simplicity of the Buddha’s fundamental teachings can often get lost in complexity, Rinpoche goes straight to their heart to convey the Buddha’s core message: If we want this life—our own life, the lives of others, and the life of our planet—to be fulfilling and good, we must accept responsibility for cultivating the best qualities of our human mind. To put the how-and-why into practice, Rinpoche guides us through the steps of the Buddha’s path.

‘This is the standout book on how to live longer’ Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People''In a world rapidly taking leave of its senses, Devi Sridhar is a crucial voice of reason, mustering empirical evidence and powerful argument to make an essential case. Drop everything and read this book'' George Monbiot, author of RegenesisHow Not To Die (Too Soon) is a fascinating, challenging and thought provoking read. It completely changes the perspective on human health and who bears responsibility for protecting it. In an age when talk of the next pandemic seems ever-present, it also couldn’t be more timely'' Nicola SturgeonHave you ever questioned why, despite the avalanche of self-help books and optimization hacks, we remain embroiled in multiple global health crises? Populations worldwide are gaining life-shortening excess weight (even in poorer countries), and water contamination is rampant (even in richer countries). In such dire circumstances, a gratitude journal won’t help.The stark reality is that we’ve been sold a monumental lie. The obsession with individual health optimization has distracted us from the real game-changer: holding governments accountable for policies that can significantly extend our lifespans. How Not to Die (Too Soon) is a vital, transformative guide that shifts the focus from individual responsibility to societal accountability. It’s time to demand the changes that will save lives.

''A mind-expanding tour of what touch means.'' DAVID EAGLEMAN, neuroscientist and author of Incognito and LivewiredWhy is a hugged person a healthier person?Why do high-fiving teams win more matches?How does a shared handshake make you more likely to tell the truth?We rely on touch every day of our lives. It makes us who we are. It helps us connect with those around us. And yet touch between individuals can be fraught with confusion and misunderstanding.In When We Touch, social neuroscientist Professor Michael Banissy blends expert scientific insights with anecdotes from 90s rom coms to office politics to explore the new science of human touch. His groundbreaking new book explains how touch impacts every part of our lives, from why touch is essential for healthy development, to how kissing might help us choose a genetically beneficial mate to how holding hands with a loved one can help us feel less pain.Banissy tackles the nuances of appropriate touch across culture and gender, investigates our ''touch personas'' and why they differ, and offers solutions to the ''touch hunger'' that has become a modern epidemic in our increasingly distanced world.From the most inconsequential to the most salient moments of human contact, When We Touch is a fascinating and entertaining exploration of our most overlooked sense.
