About this ebook

“Written in words so intimate, calm, kind, and immediate, this extraordinary book feels like a message from our very own heart….Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most important voices of our time, and we have never needed to listen to him more than now.”
—Sogyal Rinpoche

Fear is destructive, a pervasive problem we all face. Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, scholar,  peace activist, and one of the foremost spiritual leaders in the world—a gifted teacher who was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr.—Thich Nhat Hanh has written a powerful and practical strategic guide to overcoming our debilitating uncertainties and personal terrors. The New York Times said Hanh, “ranks second only to the Dalai Lama” as the Buddhist leader with the most influence in the West. In Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting through the Storm, Hanh explores the origins of our fears, illuminating a path to finding peace and freedom from anxiety and offering powerful tools to help us eradicate it from our lives

Ratings and reviews

das Buch ist eher was für Menschen, die an die Ichlosigkeit und absolute Verbundenheit und Reinkarnation glauben und alles nur friedvoll lösen möchten. ich persönlich haltr es für eine Utopie. Dass die tote Mutter in den Wolken, Wind etc überall ist und ich in den Zuhörern... für mich ist das Nichts. letztendes müsste man Buddhist sein um all diese Aussagen verinnerlichen zu können. Ich mag dieses absolute Mitgefühl bis hin zur selbstverlust drohende Einfühlung nicht. Ebenso die Idee der absoluten Verbundenheit, die fast zur Symbiose führt, nicht. Mir hat das nur Leid gebracht und es ist eine ungeheuere Verantwortung und Belastung immer nur verständnisvoll und friedvoll lieb zu sein. Es ist nichts für mich, daher nur zwei Sterne, weil es nicht explizit auf die buddhistische Vorannahme nicht verweist.

Amazing book! I just love it.

I do coaching using the wisdom from this book. Greatest Discovery!
