'He shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth.'—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Known and loved worldwide for his teachings on mindfulness and compassion, Thich Nhat Hanh was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. On Peacemaking, this beloved Zen master returns to the theme that first brought him to the world's attention: peace, and how to embody it.
Looking deeply into the roots of anger, Thich Nhat Hanh emerges with real solutions to the violence we commit against ourselves and each other. He uses the philosophy of nondualism to show that we are not separate, but one with our feelings and the world, and he teaches that the awareness of anger, not its suppression,­ is key to its control.

From the keys to transforming anger through meditation, to putting kindness into action, to heal the wounds between nations, Peacemaking is Thich Nhat Hanh's personal testament to the spiritual and practical power of nonviolence.
