The Sun My Heart: The Companion to The Miracle of Mindfulness [Hardcover]

The sequel to the bestselling Miracle of Mindfulness. A friend rather than a book, and a true spiritual classic with wisdom for any situation.

One of Thich Nhat Hanh's most beloved books, The Sun My Heart contains the journey, on the path of everyday practice, from mindfulness to insight. Using the objects and events of everyday life in his hermitage in Plum Village—the gradual settling of the pulp in a glass of apple juice or the wind blowing into the room and scattering papers about—Thich Nhat Hanh draws from Buddhist psychology, epistemology, and the world of contemporary literature and science to guide the reader along the path of clarity and understanding.

A companion guide for meditators, The Sun My Heart contains many of Thich Nhat Hanh's core teachings, and encourages readers to use their practice to discover their own insights. As he writes: Wisdom is a living stream, not an icon to be preserved in a museum.

Available in this stunning hardcover commemorative edition for the first time and with a new foreword from the convener of the 2015 Paris Climate talks, Christiana Figueres, this is the perfect introduction to Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings, for yourself or for your loved ones.
“The monk who taught the world mindfulness.”
—TIME

“Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth.”
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

“Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity.”
