At Home In The World by Thich Nhat Hanh

Stories and Essential Teachings from a Monk's Life

A gentle collection of autobiographical vignettes and teachings traces a monk’s journey from wartime Vietnam to the creation of mindful communities around the world. Through simple stories of childhood, exile, and peace work, it presents breathing, walking, and deep listening as practical paths to healing and compassion. Themes of interbeing, impermanence, and non-fear invite readers to dwell in the present moment and nurture understanding in daily life. It serves as both intimate memoir and accessible guide to living with clarity, kindness, and ease.
