Meditations for profoundly reshaping our focus, mindset, and healing journey—discover the freedom and lightness that comes with leading with gratitude over fear and traumaThe Art of Living offers an exit ramp from the madness of modern-day overdrive, and just might let us grasp the heaven on Earth. —The Chicago TribuneA revered spiritual leader’s legacy lives on in this wise and rich spiritual guide that shows us how finding true nirvana—existing deeply and peacefully every day—is more attainable than we ever imagined. Especially in turbulent times, there is an urgency to understand ourselves and our world. In the process, hushing our internal chatter and anxieties can feel nearly impossible. We exist trapped in a cycle of worry and stress—desperately searching for a cure and for an ounce of calm. In The Art of Living, renowned Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh shows us that, often, we are in our own way, and that by changing the way we think and process our emotions and experiences can permanently change the way we find joy and meaning in our lives. Containing the essence of the Buddha’s teachings and Nhat Hanh’s poignant, timeless, and clarifying prose, The Art of Living provides seven transformative mediations that open new perspectives on our lives, our relationships, and our interconnectedness with the world around us. These transformative meditations concentrate on the concepts of:· Emptiness· Singlessness· Aimlessness· Impermanence· Non-Craving· Letting Go· NirvanaThrough these, Nhat Hanh describes how spirituality is not a religion. It is a path for us to generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply in each moment of our life.Happiness is not something that arrives in a package in the mail. Happiness does not fall out of the sky. Happiness is something we generate with mindfulness. —Thich Nhat Hanh | The Art of Living by Thich Nhat Hanh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
