Working with Anger: Buddhist Teachings on Patience, Acceptance, and Transforming Negativity

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.

Anger plagues all of us on many levels and can be a formidable emotion to overcome. 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 do not burn with rage or seek revenge. Using the teachings and advice presented by beloved Buddhist teacher Thubten Chodron, anyone can learn to calm their emotions, sit with and understand their anger, and peacefully move toward resolution and peace.

Working with Anger presents a variety of Buddhist methods for subduing and preventing anger--not by changing what is happening but by framing our feelings and circumstances anew. As Chodron writes, we each long for harmony--in our hearts, relationships, and societies--and this book can help all of us to accomplish just that.
