A Tibetan Buddhist nun “offers her insights on anger, the ways that it manifests in our lives, and the ways that we can skillfully work to transform it” in this “inspiring and humble” guidebook (Sharon Salzberg, New York Times–bestselling author)
Anger plagues all of us on a personal, national, and international level. Yet we see people, such as the Dalai Lama, who have faced circumstances far worse than many of us have faced—including exile, persecution, and the loss of many loved ones—but who do not burn with rage or seek revenge. How do they do it?
Working with Anger presents a variety of Buddhist methods for subduing and preventing anger not by changing what is happening, but by framing it differently. No matter what our religion, learning to work with our anger is effective for everyone seeking personal happiness as well as world peace.
“ . . . a kind and genuinely helpful guide to handling one of the greatest challenges in living an emotionally intelligent life.”
