A mindful and spiritual approach to manifesting and using our own power—from a national bestselling author and world-renowned Buddhist monk
"Among Buddhist leaders influential in the West, Thich Nhat Hanh ranks second only to the Dalai Lama." — The New York Times
Every day, in every interaction, we all exercise power. The choices we make, the way we communicate, the relationships we form, and the way we choose to view the world—and ourselves. In a culture full of greed and egocentrism, the struggle for control and authority permeates every aspect of our private and public lives, preventing us from attaining true happiness. But what is we could ditch the toxic me-first mentality and achieve both power and confidence without all the anger, stress, fear, and anxiety?
Turning our conventional understanding of power on its head, world-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and national bestselling author Thich Nhat Hanh reveals the secret to attaining true power— finding it from within. The Art of Power shows that by chasing fame, fortune, and the future without focusing on the present, we ultimately sacrifice what actually leads a life full of joy and satisfaction.
Thought-provoking and sharp, Thich Nhat Hanh boldly challenges our assumptions on true wealth and happiness by:
· Changing our engrained perceptions—in work and life—to reinvigorate our growth mindset
· Allowing us to accept ourselves without needing to live up to external expectations
· Learning to see "the big picture" of our success instead of focusing on day-to-day stress
· Stopping shame from slowing our ability to hold on to, and attain, power
The true magic happens once we realize that all we seek, we already have. Access the infinite power within your grasp and rediscover the meaning of fulfillment and abundance with The Art of Power.
"Power is good for one thing to increase our happiness and the happiness of others. Being peaceful and happy is the most important thing in our lives and yet most of the time we suffer, we run after our cravings, we look to the past or the future for our happiness." — Thich Nhat Hanh
