Based on a retreat for civil servants, Keeping the Peace is the first book of its kind to demonstrate the usefulness of mindfulness practices for law enforcement officers, social workers, teachers, and others in people-helping professions. Each chapter contains examples of real-life situations, information on mindfulness practices, and simple suggestions and directions accessible to anyone who has struggled at work.

With empathy and humor, Thich Nhat Hanh demonstrates the need for public service professionals to cultivate their own inner peace in order to help others. In clear and simple prose, he shows us how we can reduce violence in ourselves, our workplace, and ultimately, our world.
