Good Citizens is Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's bold contribution to the creation of a shared global ethic. Based on the Buddha's Four Noble Truths about the causes of suffering and its transformation, Nhat Hanh lays out a vision based on common truths that speak to people of all faiths, cultures, and political beliefs. Applied in daily life, it can be a guide to help us think, act, and speak in ways that bring more joy and peace to ourselves and others. Book jacket.

Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the best-known Zen Buddhist teachers in the world today. His best-selling books include Happiness and Peace Is Every Step. He lives in Plum Village, in Southwest France, where he gardens, writes and teaches on the art of mindful living.
