Transformed my depression and crisis with food for thought and practice I stumbled upon this book after years of dealing with growing fear, anxiety and anger-related issues that were greatly impacting my private and professional life, robbing me of a good night's sleep and just plain making life miserable.

Not only are we are able to handle challenging emotions as they arise, but we can summon feelings of well-being and contentment, no matter what the unknown may bring. The worries of the past and the anxiety of the future disappear as we discover the power of the present moment. But it doesn't have to be this way, promises Zen master and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Without fear, we are truly free. Most of us live in a constant state of fear - of our past, of illness and aging and death, and of losing the things we treasure most. Without fear, we have more room for understanding and compassion. Without fear, we are able to see more clearly our connections to others. Drawing on a lifetime of mindfulness in action, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to use the practice of living in the present to acknowledge and embrace our fears, recognize their origins, and render them powerless. The world-renowned Zen teacher guides us through practical exercises for transforming fear into clarity. Rooted in the moment, we have the capacity to restore balance and happiness and be present with what is beautiful and affirming inside us and around us, every day.
