Description
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. Working with Anger was chosen for a Spirituality and Health Magazine Award as one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2001.

Ok I'm jaded with this book because it really doesn't help me at all for my personal situation. This book was meant to help people who have extremely mild cases of anger in their lives. This book is DEFINITELY NOT for someone who deals with anger as an attachment or biproduct of mental illness.

This book also focuses on Buddhist teachings relating to anger management which can be either good or bad depending on where you stand there. All things considered, it's an easy book to read and follow. Would recommend this to anyone dealing with MILD anger issues. Show Less
