Thich Nhat Hanh is author of many books, including the bestsellers: Being Peace, Living Buddha/Living Christ, The Miracle of Mindfulness and Peace In Every Step.

Thich Nhat Hanh has had a profound impact on contemporary thinking, and more importantly, social actions. His efforts to achieve an early peaceful end to the war in Vietnam earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and a forty year exile from his homeland.

His ongoing work teaching reconciliation and meditation with war veterans, widows, orphans, refugees, therapists, activists, and ecumenical groups has gained him a large and respectful following around the world.

Narrated by Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, Peace Is Every Step was filmed on location in Plum Village, France, Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Washington DC, and at retreats around the US.
