In Thich Nhat Hanh’s new and provocative book, he offers a dramatic vision for the future of our planet and links his contemplation of environmental destruction to the Buddhist teachings of interconnectedness and the impermanence of all things. Rather than seeing impermanence as an excuse for disengaging from the world, he argues passionately that engaging with the world is the key to our individual and collective survival. The World We Have is above all a hopeful book. Thich Nhat Hanh offers a clear vision of the road ahead and models the conviction and courage we will need to stay on the path.

Lovely book, lovely idea whose time has come, and engaged me fully and prompted me to action. I more clearly understand how to live in this world and be part of it while not being attached to it or its frailities. especially like the discussion of death attitudes in western societies. thank you thank you thank you!
