I really enjoyed reading this book. I meditate daily and this helped to remind me why I spend 10-20 minutes sitting.
The book tells us how to be in the present moment and to breathe.
Beautifully written.

A small but powerful book told through heartfelt and honest conversations of two men closely affiliated with Thich Nhat Hanh and Plum Village in France.
