Make peace with yourself

Author: Thich Naht Hanh

In each of us there is a suffering boy or girl, who sheds tears on the wounds of the past, preventing them from healing. This book teaches us to make peace with ourselves. To dialogue with the inner child to face adult life with more serenity and awareness. Page after page, Thich Nhat Hanh, without denying the difficulties and the risk of oversimplification, guides us along that indispensable path to recognize the traumas and pains of childhood. These are concrete and accessible to all practices, thanks to which it becomes easier to accept and then transform the anger, sadness and fear that prevent us from living fully as adults. With kindness and poetry we are urged to look within ourselves to discover how our inner conflicts are at the origin of tensions with ourselves and with others. And this discovery helps us to understand the past and to live in peace in the here and now, improving our daily life and the quality of our relationships.
