How to Connect




One of ten pocket sized books in the 'How to' series from the father of mindfulness.

Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh shows how we can restore our inherent connection to nature, each other, our ancestors, and ourselves—and remember our fundamental gift of belonging.

“We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.” —Thich Nhat Hanh

With our world experiencing the deep effects of loneliness, environmental detachment, and digital overload, this pocket-sized How To book reminds us of our crucial need to connect to ourselves, our ancestors, and our planet. Written with characteristic simplicity and kindness, these wise meditations teach us how to remember, at any time, our fundamental gift of belonging.

Illustrated with playful sumi-ink drawings by artist Jason DeAntonis, How to Connect is the eighth book in the bestselling Mindfulness Essentials series, a back-to-basics collection from world-renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh that introduces everyone to the essentials of mindfulness practice.
