Buddha Mind, Buddha Body: Walking toward Enlightenment by Thich Nhat Hanh is a book on free will, happiness, coexistence, brotherhood, love and other such important necessities of life. Summary of the Book Nhat Hanh explains many Buddhist perspectives on human mind and its functionality. He not only brings out the philosophy behind these things but also explains the psychology, neuroscience, meditation and a harmonious connection between the mind and the body. The book also talks about free will, understanding, liberation and various human emotions and how they could be kept closer to reality and not just in theory. Thich not only brings out these stirring ideas and experiences of his own, but also backs them up with events and stories from Buddha’s life. What stands out and makes this book unique is the fact that, although it is about many profound philosophical thoughts, it brings out certain moments of subtle humour at appropriate places. Buddha Mind, Buddha Body is a perfect blend of philosophy and psychology, all weighed in right proportions. About the Author Thích Nh?t H?nh is a Zen Buddhist monk who was born in Vietnam.
