  <default-description>Anger can be one of the most frustrating emotions, carrying us headlong away from ourselves and depositing us into separation and dismay. Vietnamese monk and world teacher Thich Nhat Hanh tackles this most difficult of emotions in &lt;I&gt;Anger&lt;/I&gt;. A master at putting complex ideas into simple, colorful packages, Nhat Hanh tells us that, fundamentally, to be angry is to suffer, and that it is our responsibility to alleviate our own suffering. The way to do this is not to fight our emotions or to &quot;let it all out&quot; but to transform ourselves through mindfulness. Emphasizing our basic interdependence, he teaches us how to help others through deep listening and how to water the positive seeds in those around us while starving the negative seeds. Serious though lighthearted, &lt;I&gt;Anger&lt;/I&gt; is a handbook not only for transforming anger but for living each moment beautifully. &lt;I&gt;--Brian Bruya&lt;/I&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I picked this book up because, when glancing through, I read something about how therapists often encourage their clients to &quot;get their anger out&quot; and Thich Nhat Hanh was proposing another way of &quot;dealing&quot; with anger. So, I picked this up with the intention of learning strategies...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1193148">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is such a great book for understanding and transforming conflict in relationships with others and the self. It is in the practice of what he suggests that one sees immediate results. I think this was just what i needed during this long cold winter. A dose of mindfulness.

    <body><![CDATA[A lovely little book to dip into now and again. Thich Nhat Hahn is one of the foremost writers/poets on Buddhist practice alive (still) today, and his sweet, compassionate, gentle, and oh-so-wise essence clearly comes through in his work. The prose style is simple, yet potent. He delivers powerful l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25934283">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I return to this book occasionally for guidance. It provokes me to want to be a better person, although it's difficult to apply in a western context I find. Probably worth having when you need something to talk you off the ledge, but not a must read unless anger is really an issue for you.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book offers insight and instruction on how to deal with anger in a humane and productive way.  It's easy to read and I found it profoundly helpful.  Thich Nhat Hanh comes from a Buddhist framework, but you don't have to practice Buddhism to find value in these instructions.]]></body>
