The increasingly popular Zen master has written a key book on an emotion that affects us all: fear

Renowned Zen master and Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, explores the origins of fear and offers detailed practises on how to deal with its often toxic presence in our lives. Formed by a lifetime of mindfulness in action, he also shows us the path to peace, happiness and freedom that can come out of such explorations. To him, happiness is not found by suppressing our emotions but by purposefully living in a mindfully aware state of mind. Only in this way can we identify the source of pain that is responsible for our fear, and cut it off from its roots so that the pain can subside. When we're not held in the grip of fear, we can truly embrace the gifts of life.
