Most of us experience work, hardship, traffic jams, and everything modern, urban life offers. By carefully examining our everyday choices we can move in the direction of right livelihood; we can be a lotus in a muddy world by building mindful communities, learning about compassionate living, or by coming to understand the concept of "Buddha nature." Work also discusses mindful consumption, or the mindful use of limited resources. Instead of Living Large in Lean Times or Ramen to Riches we can learn to appreciate living less large and think about what kind of riches we want for ourselves and others.

His best-selling books, including Power and Peace Is Every Step, have sold over two million copies in the US alone. He lives in Plum Village, in southwest France, where he gardens, writes, and teaches on the art of mindful living. Author Biography Thich Nhat Hanh was a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than four million copies in the United States alone. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to Western culture. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95 at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam. Review With his characteristic gentleness and insight, Vietnamese Zen master Nhat Hanh (Fear) applies his key teachings to the workplace. Taking the reader step-by-step through the workday, Nhat Hanh discusses applying mindfulness to simple activities (eating breakfast, answering the phone), using breathing and walking meditation to promote ease, and resolving negative emotions and workplace conflict. Suggestions and models (such as a "peace treaty") provide tools for change. The book also explores general topics such as right livelihood, happiness, and community.—Publishers Weekly Promotional How to Find Joy and Meaning in Each Hour of the Day Review Quote "Practical, wise and deeply compassionate, Work offers us a path for discovering the joy and inspiration that lies at the very heart of our household, livelihood and daily routines." --Michael Carroll, author of Awake at Work and The Mindful Leader " Work is a practical handbook for those who seek sanity and serenity at work.
