Get the Summary of Thich Nhat Hanh's No Mud, No Lotus in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary and not the original book.
Original book introduction:
Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But, unless we're able to face our suffering, we can't be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.
Nhat Hanh shares how the practices of stopping, mindful breathing, and deep concentration can generate the energy of mindfulness within our daily lives. With that energy, we can embrace pain and calm it down, instantly bringing a measure of freedom and a clearer mind.
