Thich Nhat Hanh
About this listen
“When you wake up and you see that the Earth is not just the environment, the Earth is us, you touch the nature of interbeing. And at that moment you can have real communication with the Earth.... We have to wake up together. And if we wake up together, then we have a chance. Our way of living our life and planning our future has led us into this situation. And now we need to look deeply to find a way out, not only as individuals, but as a collective, a species.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
We face a potent intersection of crises: ecological destruction, rising inequality, racial injustice, and the lasting impacts of a devastating pandemic. The situation is beyond urgent. To face these challenges, we need to find ways to strengthen our clarity, compassion, and courage to act.
Beloved Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is blazingly clear: There’s one thing we all have the power to change, which can make all the difference, and that is our mind. Our way of looking, seeing, and thinking determines every choice we make, the everyday actions we take or avoid, how we relate to those we love or oppose, and how we react in a crisis.
Mindfulness and the radical insights of Zen meditation can give us the strength and clarity we need to help create a regenerative world in which all life is respected. Filled with Thich Nhat Hanh’s inspiring meditations, Zen stories and experiences from his own activism, as well as commentary from Sister True Dedication, one of his students Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet shows us a new way of seeing and living that can bring healing and harmony to ourselves, our relationships, and the Earth.
Plus, exclusive to the audiobook, you can continue your awakening with the meditations that are the foundation of this book, directly from Thich Naht Hanh himself.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Love might not be what we think it is. We all seek the happiness that comes from loving and being loved, yet we often find ourselves dissatisfied in our relationships and unable to grasp the cause. Thich Nhat Hanh here shows the way to overcome our recurrent obstacles to love - by learning to be mindful, open, and present with ourselves and others. As he explains, "training is needed in order to love properly; and to be able to give happiness and joy, you must practice deep looking directed toward the person you love."

Love might not be what we think it is. We all seek the happiness that comes from loving and being loved, yet we often find ourselves dissatisfied in our relationships and unable to grasp the cause. Thich Nhat Hanh here shows the way to overcome our recurrent obstacles to love - by learning to be mindful, open, and present with ourselves and others. As he explains, "training is needed in order to love properly; and to be able to give happiness and joy, you must practice deep looking directed toward the person you love."

Mindfulness / Zen - pure / uncomplicated
My only expectation when choosing this book was to learn more of Thich Nhat Hahn’s thought and the title sounded very relevant for our times.
Loved the simplicity when speaking about Zen and mindfulness.
There is a fantastic chapter on the 2015 Paris climate talk preparation that was spearheaded by a lady trained by TNH.
Another fantastic chapter on compassionate listening.
And beautiful recorded sharing by the teacher himself at the end.

A true gem of wisdom to combat the anxiety and feeling of immobility that fear causes in our hearts when it comes to tackling environmental crisis. It provides a tool kit that aid people into full awareness and may provides hope and fuel for those who may in the midst of this work. I teaches mindfulness and introduces concept to help every individual feel for alive and awaken to meet this moment in history.

Great Book. Hard For Me To Focus On Audible Though.
First off, the performance was amazing. I came fresh off of ‘Bewilderment’ before this, so Edwardo Ballerini definitely earned a spot as one of my favorite narrators. 5 starts. Full stop.
As for the story, I think it’s definitely somebody’s 5/5, but I decided to settle on a 4. The idea is great and I really enjoy what it has to say. For the most part I was on board with everything too; There were only a few little comments about Nuclear power, etc. that I noticed myself disagreeing with. Otherwise, great book.
My only reservation is with the Audiobook format and my own ability to focus. Now, for many of you this might not be a problem, but I often had trouble giving this book the kind of focus it deserves. Typically, I use audible driving or walking my dog. In this past this has worked great for a lot of fiction; Even if you miss a few seconds you can fill in the gap. This book requires A LOT more focus to really enjoy. In retrospect, I probably should have saved this one for a physical copy; That’s just me though.
