I am not a Buddhist or much into meditation, but this book helped me learn to be mindful in daily life, which is something that can benefit anyone. Some of what Nhat Hanh teaches you may not agree with and some may be hard to grasp, but there are valuable lessons in this book that you can use every day, even while washing dishes or taking a walk. Nhat Hanh is a great living teacher of spirituality and mindfulness.
