The Miracle of Mindfulness

An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation
Book • 1999
This book, originally written as a long letter to a fellow Buddhist monk in 1974, provides a clear and simple introduction to the practice of mindfulness.

Thich Nhat Hanh uses gentle anecdotes and practical exercises to teach readers how to be fully aware and awake in each moment, whether it be washing dishes, answering the phone, or peeling an orange.

The book emphasizes the importance of living in the present and finding opportunities for self-understanding and peacefulness in everyday activities.

It also includes practical advice on breathing techniques and other meditative practices to reduce stress and enhance focus and self-compassion.
