About this listen

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh, read by John Sackville.

‘The Father of Mindfulness’ - Irish Times

‘The first book to awaken a mainstream readership to the subject of mindfulness – a testimony to the power of Thich Nhat Hanh’s elegant and profound teaching.’ - Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living

In this beautifully written book, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to acquire the skills of mindfulness. Once we have these skills, we can slow our lives down and discover how to live in the moment - even simple acts like washing the dishes or drinking a cup of tea may be transformed into acts of meditation.

Thich Nhat Hanh's gentle anecdotes and practical exercises help us to arrive at greater self-understanding and peacefulness, whether we are beginners or advanced students. Irrespective of our particular religious beliefs, we can begin to reap the immense benefits that meditation has been scientifically proven to offer. We can all learn how to be mindful and experience the miracle of mindfulness for ourselves.

Critic reviews

Thich Nhat Hanh's ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
The father of mindfulness
One of the best available introductions to the wisdom and beauty of meditation practice.
He has immense presence and both personal and Buddhist authority. If there is a candidate for 'Living Buddha' on earth today, it is Thich Nhat Hanh. (Roshi Richard Baker, author of Original Mind: The Practice of Zen in the West)
[Thich Nhat Hanh] shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth
The first book to awaken a mainstream readership to the subject of mindfulness – a testimony to the power of Thich Nhat Hanh’s elegant and profound teaching. (Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living)
Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most beloved Buddhist teachers in the West, a rare combination of mystic, poet, scholar and activist.
Beautifully written and a must-read.

Beautiful book

This book has given me some great tips to live by and I've begun doing the one day a week of mindfulness and feel it's benefits already.
This isn't my first book by Thich Nhat Hanh and didn't find it as impactful as some of his others. But it's lessons are as important nonetheless.

I do find he repeats himself within his books, but I suppose it's to drive the lessons home.

Highly recommend if you're interested in mindfulness.

Peaceful and reflective

I enjoyed this and think Thich Nhat Hanh is wonderful however i found myself getting a bit bored listening to the last couple hours of this audio book. There are some brilliant gems and inspiring nuggets within but in my opinion the presentation of this book is a bit lacklustre when compared to books like Eckhart Tolle’s The Power Of Now and A New Earth.

Enjoyed this but not my favourite Mindfulness book

The first third to half of the book is really good. I am a beginner and found
Lots of great advice and techniques for being mindful in day to day life. But the second half of the book I skipped through. It was disjointed and repetitive with little practical advice. But I would still recommend it as those first chapters are excellent

Worth it for the first few chapters

Gentle but insistent, Thay imparts his timeless wisdom. Big ideas in simple language, beautifully voiced by John Sackville, this is an audio book that I will listen to again and again.
