How to Love by Thich Naht Hahn - beautiful book!!

I noticed this is a self help series, do you need to read in order? From the sample, I didn’t think it was required.

No order is necessary. I read "How to Eat" by the same Buddhist monk. It's nice! Each page has a short meditation which helps a person be more mindful about a thing we take for granted. Like tonight, I WOLFED down a big chef salad with no prayer before, no thinking about how it's ingredients were grown and harvested, that it took time and care for the ingredients to be cultivated. That's what the book helps you to do - to slow things down a bit and to appreciate a thing you every day without much thought.
