Publisher's summary

The practice of meditation, according to Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, is like the power of the sun, illuminating the areas of our life that dwell in darkness. Instead of suppressing anger, fear, and guilt, Hanh suggests that we should be mindful of these emotions, which will allow our natural patience and appreciation for life to unfold. Recorded during an intimate family retreat, The Art of Mindful Living presents Thich Nhat Hanh's practical, traditional gathas (teachings) that join ancient meditation practice with the challenges of the modern world. It includes step-by-step guides to meditation, breathing exercises, contemplation, and communication, opening our hearts and minds to the joyous wonder of tranquility and love.

Accessible Meditation

The audio proceeds along a course which is accessible to us regular human beings and stresses simple points. You can do this as a 5 minute break, eating your breakfast, drinking your tea and living in the day to day world. It's wonderful and totally not spooky or off in the ozone. We even bought all the videos available. He is GREAT!

Beautiful

I love Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings. He has a beautiful heart and a lot of experience. In this book he teaches you a lot of life lessons that you may feel you already know or live by now. But put that ego to the side and listen to what he has to say. I listened to it twice. The first time it connected with me and I loved the book but didn't finish it. Then the second time it truly connected with me and I felt I understood his words much more and did finish it. Thank you Thich Nhat Hanh for sharing your thoughts and words with us.

life-changing.....

I agree with the previous reviews that there is SOME background noise, but if you listen to this on a quality sound system (Bose soundock for ipod, for example), his voice is easily heard and the background noise is easily ignored (or at least not bothersome). Even listening to it on my Sony Vaio computer speakers is fine. THIS AUDIOBOOK, IF YOU LISTEN TO IT AND MAKE EVEN SMALL EFFORTS TO INCORPORATE THE LESSONS, WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE (IF PERFORMED WITH EVEN MINIMAL CONSISTENCY INITIALLY!). You will NOT be disappointed. The concepts are so simple it's scary, but we seem to get so tied up with "busyness" that we don't know what SHOULD be basic knowledge. Try it.

Metaphorically insightful

I love metaphors! I enjoyed the way Hanh used metaphors to relay his thoughts about mindful living. I have started walking meditations and they are an awesome way to enhance your daily life. I agree with others that the sound quality is not very good, and his accent is quite thick. If your attention span is short, this might distract you enough to make this audiobook NOT worth your while. But if you have time to rewind it a few times. .. . . .ENJOY!
