"Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth." --His Holiness The Dalai Lama
Nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for a Nobel Peace Prize, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of today’s leading sources of wisdom, peace, compassion and comfort.
It was under the bodhi tree in India twenty-five centuries ago that Buddha achieved the insight that three states of mind were the source of all our unhappiness: wrong knowing, obsessive desire, and anger. All are difficult, but in one instant of anger—one of the most powerful emotions—lives can be ruined, and health and spiritual development can be destroyed.
With exquisite simplicity, Buddhist monk and Vietnam refugee Thich Nhat Hanh gives tools and advice for transforming relationships, focusing energy, and rejuvenating those parts of ourselves that have been laid waste by anger. His extraordinary wisdom can transform your life and the lives of the peop
Editorial : 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 Anger. 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 "let it all out" 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, Anger is a handbook not only for transforming anger but for living each moment beautifully. --Brian Bruya

Like her other reads, I was expecting some real pearls of wisdom - best kept secrets! They did not exist. Bad things, unfair things, happen to him; but I couldn't bring myself to feel real sympathy. Funniest book I've read in a very long time. Perfect everything!!! No complaints!. Similar to golfing I find I can get analysis paralysis. Well done Ron in getting the message out to men and sharing your own journey. But ultimately I find biking is a bit like golfing. Ruling over it all is the calm, cool and collected Ariana Creeling, who Kylie takes an instant shine to, but it's less clear initially whether the reverse is true.
If you've read Claire McNab before, you know that there isn't much in the way of traditional romance in her books. (contents: 1. Thank you Dr. It starts rather slowly bu
