Review: Thich Nhat Hanh is a revered master of Zen Buddhism. This book compiles his teachings and sermons on relationships and communication- fighting the good fight.

The book starts with how a person should deal while communicating, not just with others but also with the inner self and delves into communication aspects in relationships. The book also has certain exercises and requests you to sign a peace treaty- a novel approach.

For beginners and those who are interested in spirituality, this book series will serve as pearls of wisdom providing much room for thought and contemplation.

The book ends with notes on a unique meditation technique known as hugging meditation.

This book is meant to be practised and is not meant to be just read and discarded.
