About this listen

Learn how to harness the power of silence to find lasting happiness, purpose, and peace with the beloved mindfulness guide from the world's most revered Zen master.

‘Shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth’ His Holiness The Dalai Lama

In today’s fast-paced, noisy world, we spend so much time searching for happiness that we forget the wonder already surrounding us.

But with burnout, stress, brain fog, and racing thoughts, our minds are often so busy that it can be hard to find a sense of self and belonging. To truly listen, and to reconnect with ourselves, we need silence.

In this beautifully written and deeply accessible guide, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how mindfulness and meditation can quiet the noise in our minds and bring lasting calm.

With gentle anecdotes, simple Buddhist wisdom, and practical exercises, he shows us how to:

  • Cultivate a mindful life
  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Reconnect with yourself and the world around you
  • Find clarity, compassion, and inner peace


A beautifully accessible introduction to mindfulness and meditation, Silence is an essential read for anyone seeking calm, balance and spiritual growth in a busy world.

I wish this book would have been read slightly slower, at the pace Thich Nhat Hanh reads his own books himself.

Speed was too fast

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

It would be better if there is a tiny pause in between sentences and chapters to assimilate the information.

Good book
