Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames
About This Book
A deeply practical guide to working with anger — not by suppressing it or expressing it destructively, but by holding it in the arms of mindfulness until its root causes become visible and its energy can be transformed. Thich Nhat Hanh draws on the Buddhist practice of mindful breathing and the Bodhisattva ideal of compassion to offer concrete techniques for cooling anger in relationships, families, workplaces, and between nations.
What You'll Learn
Anger is not the enemy to be defeated but a suffering child within us that needs acknowledgment and care — mindful attention to anger without judgment is the beginning of its transformation. The practice of "watering seeds" — what we regularly notice and nourish in ourselves and others — determines the quality of mind that dominates our experience. Deep listening and loving speech are the most powerful tools for preventing and resolving conflict at every scale.
