For those who may be unfamiliar with the life and teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh (known as Thay), this audiobook is a very light primer, providing a brief bio, a glimpse at this teachings, and mostly, the story of how a film about him and the monastics in his monestaries in France, Califorinia, and New York.
The filmmaker narrates the first 30+ minutes of this brief audiobook, explaining how he became familiar with the Vietnamese monk, became enchanted by his teachings, and came to produce a feature documentary in the final years of Thay's life.
From here, the audiobook shifts into a soundscape with narrations alternating between Buddhist actor Benedict Cumberbatch and Thich Nhat Hanh himself. These narrations are all excerpts from Thay's books and talks. There's also some brief chanting. It's a peaceful, somewhat transcendant experience, but merely skims the surface of what Thich Nhat Hanh had to offer.
For newcomers, it's a suitable introduction. For those more familiar with Thay, it's a tad redundant, but a lovely, brief invitation to experience his words anew.
For me, personally, this was more of a 3 to 3.5 star listen, but I'm giving it four stars because it's well done and well intentioned.

The second half of the audio cd is great, I recommend listening with headphones on. There are moments when Benedict Cumberbatch recites some of Thich's notes and if you're listening with headphones it'll sound like Smaug is whispering in your ears.
