“Written in words so intimate, calm, kind, and immediate, this extraordinary book feels like a message from our very own heart
.Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most important voices of our time, and we have never needed to listen to him more than now.”
—Sogyal Rinpoche
Fear is destructive, a pervasive problem we all face. Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, scholar, peace activist, and one of the foremost spiritual leaders in the world—a gifted teacher who was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr.—Thich Nhat Hanh has written a powerful and practical strategic guide to overcoming our debilitating uncertainties and personal terrors. The New York Times said Hanh, “ranks second only to the Dalai Lama” as the Buddhist leader with the most influence in the West. In Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting through the Storm, Hanh explores the origins of our fears, illuminating a path to finding peace and freedom from anxiety and offering powerful tools to help us eradicate it from our lives

"Fear," a wise man said, "is that little darkroom where negatives are developed." Vietnamese Buddhist monk and spiritual author Nhat Hanh (Savor; Reconciliation; You Are Here) has devoted much of his busy life to spreading the message of mindfulness, the life-enhancing art of living in the moment. In this new release, he addresses fear, a worrisome, debilitating topic that requires thoughtful practice to transcend. Wise words from a master; editor's recommendation.
