A fabulous read in many ways. It has easy to follow instructions on practical meditations at the back. Those same meditations are recommended throughout the book, and do make the day just that much more pleasant.
Really, I wish this was a required read for the whole world. There just seems to be a little something in there for everyone.

I need to come back to this book later. There is a lot of wisdom here, and a lot of important ideas, but I need to be reading other things right now.

I must confess that I've bought this book in a discount madness because I thought it was a book about politics but in the end, The Art of Power turned out to be a lot more than what I expected from an accidental buy. The author, Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist monk who in my opinion, have done an amazing job in his lesson on how to be in control, how to grab hold of power in one's own life.

Reasonably interesting reflection on Buddhism within the lens of business, but and also: ew capitalism. Would love a book by the same author in a different lens.

everything by Thich Nhat Hanh is amazing. This book covers the concept of power from a Buddhist perspective and what exactly power really means and how it manifests in each person's life.

I had to read this for a class, but it was a great reminder to be mindful in my work and in my life, but also pretty relevant to the way life functions today

Loved the ideas presented in this book! What a great first book for the CSL book club! Definitely touches on all the big themes of the Center: mindfulness, belovedness, love, compassion, money, community. It was a bit slow at times, and the writing a bit simple, which is why this is 3 stars.
