Peace Is Every Step - Thich Nhat Hanh
This is a very worthwhile book. It can change individual lives and the life of our society. The Dalai LamaLucidly and beautifully written, Peace is Every Step 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 in a park - 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 Peace is Every Step encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the mindness into the mindful.

Love Letter to the Earth - Thich Nhat Hanh
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 - Thich Nhat Hanh
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.

Mír v nás - Thich Nhat Hanh
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.

Silence - Thich Nhat Hanh
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 canâ ™t always hear the call of life and love.

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.

PEAK - Chip Conley
Proven principles for sustainable success, with new leadership insight PEAK is the popular, transformative guide to doing business better, written by a seasoned entrepreneur/CEO who has disrupted his favorite industry not once, but twice. Author Chip Conley, founder and former CEO of one of the worldâ ™s largest boutique hotel companies, turned to psychologist Abraham Maslow s Hierarchy of Needs at a time when his company was in dire need. And years later, when the young founders of Airbnb asked him to help turn their start-up home sharing company into a world-class hospitality giant, Conley once again used the principles heâ ™d developed in PEAK. In the decade since this book s first edition, Conley s PEAK strategy has been developed on six continents in organizations in virtually every industry.

It is the closest Britain has come to civil war in fifty years, setting the government against the people.In his trademark visceral prose, Peace describes the insidious workings of the boardroom negotiations and the increasingly anarchic coalfield battles; the struggle for influence in government and the dwindling powers of the NUM; and the corruption, intrigue and dirty tricks which run through the whole like a fault in a seam of coal.David Peace has written a novel extraordinary in its reach, and unflinching in its capacity to recreate the brutality and passion that changed the course of British history in the late twentieth century. A genuine British original. Guardian Peace is a writer of such immense talent and power . . . If Northern noir is the crime fashion of the moment, Peace is its most brilliant designer. The Times

From his youth in Canada to his crazy journey out to California, through Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills Nash, to his massively successful solo career and his re-emergence as the patron saint of grunge on to his role today as one of the last uncompromised and uncompromising survivors of rock n roll - this is Neil s story told in his own words.Young presents a kaleidoscopic view of personal life and musical creativity; it s a journey that spans the snows of Ontario to the LSD-laden boulevards of 1966 Los Angeles to the contemplative paradise of Hawaii today. Along the way he writes about the music, the victims, the girls and the drugs; about his happy family life but also about the health problems he and his children have experienced; about guitars, cars and sound systems; about Canada and California and Hawaii.
