- An Artfully Powerful Book!!!
"The Art of Power" by Thich Nhat Hanh is an eloquently written book that delves deep into the essence of compassion, power and happiness. Thich Nhat Hanh goes beyond our conventional understanding of power to provide a more comprehensive understanding of what true power is along with how to create a life of true happiness that has the potential to spark a collective awakening!!!

Anyone who has read his previous works -- or heard his talks in person or on video -- knows that his traditional Buddhist approach to life is to set aside striving and competitiveness. Instead, compassion becomes the glue that should hold together our community.

So, what he really is writing about here is the social ... Read More
