In a new edition of this classic, simple daily practices help us live fully in the present moment and experience true happiness from the renowned Zen monk and bestselling author Thich Nhat Hanh.

Cut through the busyness and anxieties of daily life to discover the simple happiness of living in the present moment, as taught by a world-renowned Zen monk.

In this book, Thich Nhat Hanh—Zen monk, author, and meditation master—distils the essence of Buddhist thought and practice, emphasising the power of mindfulness to transform our lives. But true mindfulness, Hanh explains, is not an escape. It is being in the present moment, totally alive and free.

Based on a retreat that Thich Nhat Hanh led for Westerners, You Are Here offers a range of effective practices for cultivating mindfulness and staying in the present moment—including awareness of breathing and walking, deep listening, and skilful speech. These teachings will empower you to witness the wonder of life and transform your suffering, both within and outside you, into compassion, tenderness, and peace.

As Thich Nhat Hanh declares, "the energy of mindfulness is the energy of the Buddha, and it can be produced by anybody." It is as simple as breathing in and breathing out.
