Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth."
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha."
—Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

"365 pithy teachings. . . . In the editor’s preface, Melvin McLeod suggests reading them slowly, maybe one or two a day, in order to savor and digest them more fully. This is excellent advice, but whenever I sit down with the book, I find myself reading ‘just one more’ and ‘just one more’ again."
—Shambhala Sun

"What I most appreciate in this little book is how each passage cuts directly through to the heart of the matter. The selections are simple, profound, and meaningfully applicable to everyday life in today’s world."
—New Spirit Journal

"Melvin McLeod has done a wonderful job of compiling one year’s worth of Hanh’s teachings. Each reading is short: none is more than a half page in length and most are shorter. Yet each contains a potent seed capable of transforming a day or even a lifetime if allowed to take hold and grow. If the world could practice what Hanh preaches, I believe the major problems facing our world today could be resolved."
—San Francisco Book Review

Thich Nhat Hanh (1926–2022) was​ a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, and peace activist and one of the most revered and influential spiritual teachers in the world​. Born in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. His work for peace and reconciliation during the war in Vietnam moved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. In Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh founded Van Hanh Buddhist University and the School of Youth for Social Service, a corps of Buddhist peace​ workers. Exiled as a result of his work for peace, he continued his humanitarian efforts, rescuing boat people and helping to resettle refugees. ​In 1982 he established Plum Village France, the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe​ and the hub of the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism​.​​ Over seven decades of teaching, he published a hundred books, which have been translated into more than forty languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thich Nhat Hanh’s Greatest Hits
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful book, sort of like Thich Nhat Hanh’s greatest hits. Melvin McLeod, editor of The Shambhala Sun, has combed through more than 30 writings by Thich Nhat Hanh or interviews with him to select the 365 passages in this book. The writings span nearly 40 years of Thich Nhat Hanh’s insight. The book ranges widely from succinct explanations of profound Buddhist teachings to simple but sincere and helpful daily motivations to do good in the world. I suppose this book was designed for readers to finish in a year, absorbing one passage a day for 365 days. I’ve had this book for a while now and am discovering that it is a book for a lifetime. I meditate on / practice with one passage for days at a time, and am slow to move through the book. Highly recommended. I’ll leave you with this quote. I opened the book just now at random and discovered this succinct gem: #246, One Contains All. When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything. The same is true of time. When you touch one moment with deep awareness, you touch all moments. According to the Avatamsaka Sutra, “The one contains the all.” If you live one moment deeply, that moment contains all the past and all the future in it.

Thich Nhat Hahn is uplifting and so necessary to read in these challenging days. Mindfulness is a skill, but a difficult one for Westerners to learn. Hahn simplifies the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Home is where your Heart is
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016
Verified Purchase
my book arrived just today, but i already know that i love it and shall bring it with me on morning and evening walks and for the waiting time before lectures concerts and theater. how do i know this to be true? i have read and cherished a copy of this book for two years now - a present from my sister on my moving to my new home. my original book has not only its pages covered with penciled thoughts and dog-eared at most corners, but it has literally been torn in half (the binding subsequently protected with linen tape) so that i can slip it easily in my pocket. if you are organized and methodical and possess self-control, there is one brand-new thought for each of the year's days. if you are like me, you'll dive in at whim - opening it at random, flitting back and forth.

the gentle philosophy and subsequent suggestions you will read, are repetitive - they will set up a cadence in your thought - of the little truths that are the whole of truth and the simple ways to truly experience and appreciate your meaningful joyful life.... and i wish for you, too, the well-being that i have experienced from MY copy (copies) of this book(s)....

4.0 out of 5 stars Wise daily reflection
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
I use this book for daily reflection - I read it and then write a short version in my planner as a daily reflection when I’m making my gratitude list. The entries are short, and some are a bit “in the weeds” of Buddhism, but they’re usually clear and insightful. Some of his writing is positively poetic, and the editor did a good job selecting the material.

Reviewed in Germany on April 4, 2020

I recommend other books by Thich Nhat Hanh like "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" or "The Art of Living".

I am not a fan of this snackable content, consumption-oriented type of book.

But I could see it being welcomed by those who like some reminders to start their day off with, or a little comforting something before dozing off at night.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are wonderful thoughts and I have been reflecting every since
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
I have been reading Your True Home slowly for the past few weeks and it has been a nourishing journey - the idea of finding the stillness within, the recognition of impermanence, the consciousness of returning to oneself and to here and now, bringing mindfulness into the every minute of living. They are wonderful thoughts and I have been reflecting every since. If you are on the journey or on a quest of finding the inner creative self, then this book is for you. Thanks to this book, somehow I think I may have found the deep well of mine, that offers inner peace, creativity, and nourishment. Definitely a book to keep close.
