Publisher's summary

Before you can help others, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, you must first bring peace and a deep love of life into your own consciousness. Mindfulness and Psychotherapy was originally created for those in the helping professions, but has proven profoundly helpful to anyone who wants to understand why we are at war with ourselves and one another - and how to mend our conflicts. In a special section on anger, Thich Nhat Hanh sets aside the classic debate about suppression versus expression to offer a radically different way of working with anger that uses techniques of breathing and walking meditation.

East meets West

Zen Master uses his best and most powerful insights to help psychotherapists like myself to be willing to put in the time and energy to master Mindful meditation so that we can confidently apply what become our insights as a background to the therapeutic encounter that become powerfully impressive. We need not trade-in your long developed styles to include mindfulness in our sessions and actually notice a palpable change in the client's apparently new sense of well-being. Needless to say, I am filled with admiration for this man and recommend adding this to our psychotherapy tool-kit.

beautiful

i didn't have a problem understanding him. you do have to pay attention but i'm not used to his accent and had little trouble so i guess it depends on the individual listening. give it a try-what he says is worth listening to. after a while i found his voice soothing and almost a trigger to relax and take in wisdom.

Expectations interfere ...

Expectations interfere with appreciation of the present.
.
It is to be regretted that the previous two reviewers had difficulty understanding the speech of Thich Nhat Hanh in this recording.
.
Our speaker begins with the recommendation: "The practice of buddhist meditation ... is to get the capacity to enjoy peace ... ", and he continues, to say that often we miss the present moment because we are looking for something else. The previous reviewers might have found benefit in taking that to heart.
.
I would suggest that the previous reviewers might learn from their experience, benefit from the opportunity, by resting in awareness of their struggle with the speech sounds of Thich Nhat Hanh, so they might relax out of that struggle, and find peace and openness to the realities of the moment, the moment in this case being the excellent teaching of Thich Nhat Hanh. As long as one gives one's awareness to the barrier, the difficulty, that is what one will know. That difficulty, that struggle, is not necessary; by bringing struggle to the relationship, one's awareness of the relationship is dominated by the experience of one's own contribution of struggle.
.
Ironic, that the previous reviewers' need of the teachings interfered with their hearing of the teachings. In such a situation, one might stop trying, stop projecting whatever attempt to understand is not being successful, and rest a few moments in peaceful openness, in simple receptivity, before playing the recording again. Let effort and struggle subside, let the activities of the thinking mind subsite, and receive the teachings with an open heart.
.
A teacher cannot teach; only, a student can learn.

Wonderful narration

Would you consider the audio edition of Mindfulness and Psychotherapy to be better than the print version?

I love this authors narration, his voice and his accent are so gentle and always helps me to feel better just hearing his kind and calm voice. I have no problems understanding his speech, maybe because my grandma had a similar accent. His voice and way of speaking is very pleasant and if you need immediate comfort in a difficult situation, I recommend this audio version of this book highly....

Any additional comments?

Thich is my favorite all time author besides Sogyal Rinpoche (of the eastern tradtions)-

Thich Nhat Hanh makes mindfulness possible

This Buddhist Vietnamese is so humble and his teachings so accessible that it is a wonderful book. Exiled from his home country he paints a picture of growing up in Viet Nam that is so heartfelt you can feel his pain. He makes the art of meditation sound to easy and accessible. I call him "the laughing Buddhist."

Author Should Not Have Narrated

Thich Nhat Hanh may have some wonderful things to say, but you can't understand him because his accent is too thick. Even my wife who is Vietnamese could not understand him.
