How to See

(Book #7 in the Mindfulness Essentials series)

Book Overview: How to See

Reach true clarity and insight by looking deeply, minimizing misperceptions, and having the courage to see things as they really are.

The seventh book in the bestselling Mindfulness Essentials series, a back-to-basics collection from world-renowned Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh that introduces everyone to the essentials of mindfulness practice.

Profound and always approachable, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches us the art of looking deeply–in to our knee-jerk assumptions and runaway thoughts–so we can recognize the true meaning and essence of our lives. How to See teases apart the act of seeing-both inside and outside of ourselves, and points the way to developing true clarity.

Written with his signature warmth, these pithy meditations are accompanied by playful sumi-ink drawings by California artist Jason DeAntonis.

TIME

“Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth.”
His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh, globally recognized as a spiritual leader, Zen Master, and vocal peace activist, has dedicated his life to transforming suffering and promoting peace in individuals, communities, and the world. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a monk at the early age of 16, subsequently gaining recognition for his key role in initiating the “Engaged Buddhism” movement, merging traditional practices with modern societal and humanitarian concerns.

Nhat Hanh’s extensive body of work includes over 100 books on mindfulness, meditation, and Buddhism, with notable works such as “The Miracle of Mindfulness” and “Peace Is Every Step.” His teachings emphasize the intricate interconnectedness of all life, offering transformative perspectives on dealing with anger, fostering compassion, and nurturing peaceful relationships. His compelling insights have significantly influenced the field of mindfulness in the West, earning him the title “The Father of Mindfulness.”

Beyond his writings, Thich Nhat Hanh founded the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, the epicenter of his humanitarian work. Known for his active opposition to the Vietnam War, he has strived for peaceful reconciliation and conflict resolution, even getting nominated by Martin Luther King Jr. for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. Today, he remains a luminary figure, spreading insightful wisdom central to personal growth and universal peace.
