Now, for certain I will keep an eye out for any more of his books to add to my library. Review: I was looking for mental silence, and I found it. Your learning style will determine how much you like this. - I picked this book because silence was what I was looking for and I found it in this book. It is a book on the subject of mindfulness. To skip to the point, if you have a learning style that requires structure, you can find a better book. If you have a learning style where you pick up things in bursts of activity whenever you can devote time to the subject, you will like this book. I discovered mindfulness after watching a video on YouTube with Jon Kabat Zin hosting a session he held at Google. I picked up his book Full Catastrophe Living. It read to me like enthusiastic 8 week boot camp that you have to follow or you feel like your doing it wrong in spite of the authors best efforts to remind you that you cannot truly do it wrong. I don't see this necessary as wrong approach. I've seen there are 8 week classes out there and my suspicion this would work better as a class rather than self taught. This would be the structured approach I was referring too and as a result I recommend this book for those sorts of learners. Ultimately I wasn't really interested in meditation. I was looking for a way to quiet my world. They are many paths to achieve the quiet I was looking for, that I'm certain. So far none had seemed to work. Never has a book had a title so appropriately for what I was looking for. So naturally I snatched it up. I found Hanh's methods to be simpler to apply than Zinn's. They didn't feel like homework assignments. There was no suggested pacing to imply that after so many weeks you have everything you need. Rather than encouraging one to set aside 30 minutes a day, as you progress through the book you eventually learn enough to practice mindfulness all day so should you chose. Hanh trying to help you shut off the Non Stop Radio in your head and 30 minutes a day doesn't help. You need a method that you can use whenever you need to shut that radio off. This felt more natural and was more useful. It was more helpful as I could practice this not only when ever I wanted, but whenever I needed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #80,355 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Zen Spirituality #477 in Meditation (Books) #677 in Spiritual Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,795) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.33 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0062224700 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062224705 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | January 26, 2016 | | Publisher | HarperOne | ## Images ![Silence: A Guide to Harnessing Your Most Powerful Inner Resource Through Mindfulness Techniques, Zen Philosophy, and the Art of Embracing Quiet - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zENMOvWHL.jpg) ![Silence: A Guide to Harnessing Your Most Powerful Inner Resource Through Mindfulness Techniques, Zen Philosophy, and the Art of Embracing Quiet - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vxlHRfZML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I find Thich Nhat Hanh's writings to be gateways to inner peace. *by R***G on February 20, 2026* This being my second book by Thich Nhat Hanh; I found it very illuminating and a path to inner and outer peace.

In a world filled with din and distraction how sweet is the silence that brings us back to the ‘island of self’—a place of stillness and quiet space. I highly recommend this offering to all those who are pushed back and forth by the endless noise of this world. ## Frequently Bought Together - Silence: A Guide to Harnessing Your Most Powerful Inner Resource Through Mindfulness Techniques, Zen Philosophy, and the Art of Embracing Quiet - This Thing Called You - Spiritual Liberation: Fulfilling Your Soul's Potential --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/23009248-silence-a-guide-to-harnessing-your-most-powerful-inner-resource](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/23009248-silence-a-guide-to-harnessing-your-most-powerful-inner-resource) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
