Review Quotes: "How to Smile is a revolutionary cry. To smile the smile of non-fear is to realize one of the most powerful aspects of [Thich Nhat Hanh's] revolution within Buddhism. That half smile of the Buddha sitting on the altar is more powerful than any general with a destroying army could ever be. Because when we are able to smile, we no longer see ourselves as just being swept away by the historical forces of our personal life, of our collective life. We master our own body and mind. So the subtitle for How to Smile would be something like Re-establishing Sovereignty in Our Lives."
