Our August book is Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life by Thich Nhat Hanh. Please post your comments in this thread.

For those of you with ereaders, Amazon has a Kindle edition of this book!

Let's go with this wholesome read Amanda. I hope we all will be pleasantly enjoyed. thank you very much. Alex.

Just got it in Audio....gonna start it this weekend maybe...if not it will be next week.

Great to have you guys on board! I have my Kindle primed and ready to go. I've wanted to read something by this author for a while.

I got my copy today. It seems like everyone is keen to start this one!!

Have just gotten round to starting reading this today. In the first section I read, Hanh states that "we are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living". This strikes me as very true! I am hoping that the pracitical advice in the book will help me to be able to get better at living ;-).

Has anyone else started yet?

I'm seriously behind on my reading for this group. I wasn't sure anyone was with me anymore!

I'm planning on reading this this week...I'm a bit behind as well.

Looks like everyone is behind. How about we make this September's book and read Swampland Flowers in October?

Sounds like a good idea!

I read this book yesterday. I loved the practical applications that it puts forth. The mantras that help you to see what's going on her and now. Very good. I think I'm going to have to find Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life and read it now...

I just finished reading this. For me, while the first two sections are good, they seemed very familiar, as there is a great deal of overlap with The Miracle of Mindfulness which I have had for a while and often refer to for guidance. However, the third section blew me away - I just loved Thay's simple explanations and stories about the interbeing of all things. And the 14 precepts ("Love in Action") are wonderful, I think I may have to type them out and laminate them to carry with me everywhere!

So, is anyone reading Swampland Flowers with me? (though I haven't started yet...)
