Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings, this collection of essays weaves together the wisdom of many Buddhist and non-Buddhist thinkers, demonstrating how to look deeply into the items we consume every day: food, clothing, objects, media, ideas and images. The various authors explain how shining the light of mindfulness on our habits of consumption allows us to understand our interdependence on all beings, express our gratitude, connect our values with our purchases, and become more responsible citizens.
