Bring peace into your present moment through the power of breath with Global Peace Ambassador Prem Rawat

Breath: It marks the beginning and end of life, it is the one thing shared by all human beings, and yet it is one of the most overlooked aspects of the human experience. What we take for granted actually forms the basis of our shared reality. Each breath we take signals triumph over death, our defiant presence in the world, our dedication to persisting.
Global Peace Ambassador and New York Times bestselling author Prem Rawat asks us to pause and take a moment to revel in our breath, to wake up to this miracle of shared human experience. Only when we do so can we open ourselves to the possibility of peace—both inner and outer.
Breath is a beautiful guide to finding harmony in each moment. Immerse yourself in the simple but profound power of breath to bring peace to your life.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press Essentials.

      Bestseller Rawat (Hear Yourself) offers a series of thin and repetitive reflections on utilizing the “gift of breath.” In spare text interspersed with line drawings, he frames breath as an “anchor” in moments of instability; as a reminder to remain present; and as a source of gratitude that “flow all the time” (“Without this breath... there is nothing”). Breath, according to Rawat, is also a force that connects humanity (“When I look at people, I feel love for them because they are human beings.... The breath is coming into them. The breath is coming into me”) and a source of individual peace that can heal a hectic world beset by violence and disconnection (“It is not governments, not big institutions... but each human being taking responsibility for this peace that is going to make a difference”). Unfortunately, the author’s uplifting message is delivered in metaphors that feel more tired than revelatory (“The song of life is played on an instrument called breath”), and his suggested solutions to global problems come across as hazy and naive (“When you are in love with your life... that’s when you begin to respect other people’s existence. This is not the case in the world today. This needs to change”). It’s a disappointment. Illus.
