Officers of Peace

This might be old news to some, but I started reading the book "Keeping the Peace, Mindfulness and Public Service". It is by Thich Nhat Hanh. It is based on a retreat that was given for civil servants, and is a guide for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike that either work or volunteer as a public servant. Deals with the special struggles that are inherent with that line of work and offers mindfulness practices. Well worth it if you are in that situation.

would this be beneficial to Paramedics too? Oh, I guess it would be...public servants.

Yes, for sure. I've not gotten very far into it, but it certainly would. Police, teachers, social workers, paramedics, those involved in a people helping profession, as the book states. Heres a link to it. http://www.parallax.org/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=BOOKKTP
