Civil servants need to cultivate their own inner peace in order to help others. Thich Nhat Hanh speaks directly to social workers, law enforcement officers, and others about how their work can be a key component in creating peace and community. In this original and groundbreaking work, the first of its kind, Thich Nhat Hanh suggests that police departments make mindfulness practices an integral part of police training. He encourages police officers to act as a Sangha and support each other as a community -- all in his non-denominational and highly accessible style.
Expanding traditional thinking regarding the work of law enforcement, the author speaks directly to the need of civil servants in order to help cultivate their own inner peace in order to help others.
