“There may be nothing to it, but there’s plenty here that’s substantial and nourishing. Deeply rooted in the tradition and teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, but with Phap Hai’s own distinct voice, knowledge, and point of view, this playful, accessible commentary reads like a conversation with a friend, full of unusual candor and ease.” —Lama Surya Das, founder of the Dzogchen Center and author of Awakening the Buddha Within
“Brother Phap Hai, like his teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, is not only concerned with how we live, but willing to meet us where we live. Nothing to It teaches us simple ways that we might use all the moments of our lives to rejuvenate our minds, connect with others, and give strength to our better qualities. Grounded in Buddhist practice and philosophy, the exercises and encouragement here are not highfalutin’, but practical and doable.” —Rod Meade Sperry, editor of A Beginner’s Guide to Meditation
