Present Moment, Wonderful Moment

Thich Nhat Hanh's gathas are among the most quietly effective mindfulness tools in print — short verses paired with brief commentary that you can actually use while washing the dishes or sitting in traffic, not just read in a chair. This is explicitly Buddhist in its spiritual framework, so readers whose faith sits elsewhere should know what they're stepping into. For anyone drawn to contemplative practice, though, it's a genuinely useful and beautifully made little book.
