By being aware of one's breathing, one can stop thinking of unimportant or negative aspects, and focus solely on happiness, harmony, and peace. Hanh teaches readers to live in the present through a breathing method called "conscious breathing," which allows the individual to calm him or herself, and focus on inner peace. His first section, "Breathe! You are Alive," focuses on one's ability to live in the present moment, and be "mindful" of each action in daily life. In Peace is Every Step, Hanh uses his experience throughout his journeys to inform and enlighten readers about the breathing method known as conscious breathing, and the effects of that meditative force on the lives of individuals.
Born in Vietnam and ordained as a Buddhist monk at a young age of sixteen, Hanh has spent his life attempting to unify religion to form a peaceful world. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Zen master, spiritual leader and author known worldwide for his efforts to bring peace and harmony to all persons.
Peace is Every Step is a personal journey through awareness in an effort to obtain the inner peace necessary to work towards peace on a worldwide scale. In doing so, readers can improve their relationships, lower their anger levels, and increase overall feelings of peace and joy.
By using anecdotes, personal stories, and meditation techniques, Hanh shows how meditation in normal situations, using conscious breathing, can remind readers to be conscious of their present existences. Based on Zen Buddhism, Thich Nhat Hanh's method of instruction is simple, easy to follow, and focuses on everyday activities and situations.
Peace is Every Step is a novel designed to instruct new students on methods of meditation, conscious breathing, and enlightenment.
