The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practices and inspiration transforming suffering and finding true joy.

Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.

Nhat Hanh shares how the practices of stopping, mindful breathing, and deep concentration can generate the energy of mindfulness within our daily lives. With that energy, we can embrace pain and calm it down, instantly bringing a measure of freedom and a clearer mind.

No Mud, No Lotus introduces ways to be in touch with suffering without being overwhelmed by it. "When we know how to suffer," Nhat Hanh says, "we suffer much, much less." With his signature clarity and sense of joy, Thich Nhat Hanh helps us recognize the wonders inside us and around us that we tend to take for granted and teaches us the art of happiness.

Short, yet packed with wisdom. Reader’s accent is fine, but made understanding a few words here and there tricky but by no means a deal breaker. Recommended

Muchos libros hablan de vivir en el presente pero a veces la psicología positiva olvida el enfoque del sufrimiento. Este libro abarca más. Ahonda en el arte de aprender a usar el sufrimiento como un contrapeso de nuestra felicidad.

The simple, yet profound message provided in this performance is universal. You cannot experience happiness without knowing sadness. Sweet must have bitter.....just as you cannot exist without your opposite also existing.

The listener is guided to the understanding of viewing the world, and compassion, through the eyes of others. a wonderful concept.

I highly recommend this audiobook.
