SILENCE: THE POWER OF QUIET IN A WORLD FULL OF NOISE

Religion & Philosophy Health & Well-being

By Thich Nhat Hanh

Synopsis

We can spend a lot of time looking for happiness, but our hearts and minds are so full of noise that we can’t always hear the call of life and love. To hear that call and respond to it, we need silence. Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh explains how through silence and the practice of mindfulness, we are free to hear, to see - and just be.
