Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through The Storm - Softcover

"[Thich Nhat Hanh] shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth" (The Dalai Lama)

"Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout...a scholar of immense intellectual capacity" (Martin Luther King)

"Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha" (Sogyal Rinpoche)

Renowned Zen master and Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, explores the origins of fear and offers detailed practises on how to deal with its often toxic presence in our lives. Formed by a lifetime of mindfulness in action, he also shows us the path to peace, happiness and freedom that can come out of such explorations. For him, happiness is not found by suppressing our emotions but by purposefully living in a mindfully aware state. Only by practicing mindfulness in this way can we identify the source of pain that is responsible for our fear and anxiety, and cut it off from its roots so that the pain can subside. When we're not held in the grip of fear, we can truly embrace the gifts of life.
