Body and Mind Are One

What a tremendous book!

This audible book is absolutely beautiful. Thigh Nhat Hanh's gentle yet deep descriptions were so beneficial.

Great material but audio is very low

Great material but Thich is very soft-spoken and the audio sounds like it was recorded from 20 feet away. It is listenable but don't try to do it anywhere there is any background noise.

👍Mindfulness 🙏

This is a fantastic talk however the audio recording isn't the best. It is a public talk so the audio isn't crisp & you can hear people coughing & sneezing & whatnot throughout the program. Also I think I hear air conditioning or some other form of white noise. Thich Nhat Hanh has wonderful points & give great instruction however his native tongue isn't English so sometimes I had difficulty understanding him. There is one particular word that he repeated but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what he is saying. Finally I feel that due to the audio quality this program is very much over priced & I feel it would be more fair to sell it at half the cost $14.99 USD. But even with the cons if you enjoy Thich Nhat Hanh or need to learn about mastering mindfulness I will still highly recommend this program.

Lecture recording

The entire audiobook is a live recording. The teachings are very good but the audio quality could use some tuning.

Peace, love, and humor

Love listening to all talks from Thich Nhat Hanh. So much peace and joy radiates from his words.
Always wish the recordings were a little louder.

Great intro to meditation.

Good for beginners and advanced, too. Thay's voice is incredibly soothing. I listened to the book every day to rest and find more energy. I emerged refreshed and centered.

This has become the most important book in my life

I’ll confess that I use this mostly for getting to sleep on troubled nights or when I’m wound up. But I also listen and practice the meditations and I love the gatthas he suggests. He takes you to a world apart, where materialism and deadlines and other pressures disappear. We contemplate being and non being and the gatthas transport me to a place of peace and serenity. This is a philosophy that can appeal to people of all faiths. His voice is mesmerizing. I cherish this recording and listen many times every week. It was a godsend in my divorce and continues to be a source of inspiration, strength, and joy.

Pleasant, simple .. Buddhism lite

It's a recording of talks given at a retreat, not a real book. He has a comforting voice, a loving audience, and a very simple and reassuring message. Be in the present. Breathe in. Breathe out...

I had trouble with some of his assertions though such as your parents live in every cell so therefore you can communicate with them. That the spirit of ancestors is passed on in a musical way. That there obviously can be no darkness without light. That if you know the Holy Spirit you know the Trinity, if you know the Sangha you must know the Buddha and Dharma.

A nod to science and right into imagination. I have no reason to doubt his sincerity or good intentions but this is not deep Buddhism.
