The Mindfulness Survival Kit: Five Essential Practices Paperback – October 31, 2013

Love this handy little book! Really clarifying some ideas for me and inspiring me

This is very different book than other books by Thich Nhat Hanh.It doesn’t tell stories and focuses on the mindfulness trainings in great detail and other Buddhist ethical concepts in modern plain language and the connection to practical practices that help realize them.If I had to take one book of Thich Nhat Hanh to deserted island this would be the one.

Changed me for the better.

This is a nice book to keep beside your bed for little reminder readings before you go to sleep. I love everything he has written, but this one is always out. He has a very clear way of describing mindfulness and guiding you toward it.

Clear about what are the five mindfulness trainings, how to practice them and the expected results of their practice. Recommend reading from the Plum Village tradition.

This is a very nice read up for the five essential practices. It's presented in a neat and tidy package, simple and unassuming. I love the way the five mindfulness training is made so accessible to anyone who's interested to know more about this practices. Definitely not something that's catered to only Buddhists. This is something anyone could easily pick up and make good use of.

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh guides beautifully us through the five Buddhist precepts adapted to our current time in the form of the five mindfulness trainings. It is amazing how an apparently simple book can be so deep in many teachings and daily life practices.The global ethics proposed in this book are wonderful and I believe that everyone interested should read it so that we can have a happier future together.

Another gem from Thay. Love the metta prayer on page 75. So concise and includes suggestions for simple daily practices. Very happy with Thay's new editor Rachel Neumann. As a student of Thay's for 7 years, and reading dozens of his books, I feel very grateful for the big wisdom in this little book.
