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 people you love, and in the words of Thich Nhat Hanh, can give each reader the power to "change everything."

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Eye opening read, worked well for me in a very short time. All you need is motivation, desire to change, and the will to submit to a viewpoint that will bring peace into your life. Your whole life and everyone in it. Wish I read this when I first got out of the military. Your skill set will remain, but it will not be the primary focus in your mind. This is a change for life, that is loaded with all the tools you need.

Could Save Your Relationship

July 10, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have also read You Are Here which taught me about mindfulness. Hanh once more invites you to use mindfulness to heal failing relationships. He teaches in this book to let the other person know about your suffering. He teaches that the other person is never the main cause of your suffering. Hanh can be very repetitive in this book. It seems he is saying the same things over and over. Either way this book can help you save a relationship you once cherished and want to feel the same about once more. If you truly desire to mend your suffering, or even the suffering you may be causing your loved ones, read the book. Write the peace letter he speaks of or have the conversation with that loved one. Stay Zen.

Embrace & care for anger - not wishing it be gone.

November 27, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I embrace the concepts in this book. I am learning to take care of my anger and not wish it be gone. My anger tells me I'm suffering. Treat it like I would a friend. Self compassion a big theme. New concept to me and I'm doing my best to practice it. Beautiful book.

Always Good, but A Little Less So

February 2, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I can always get value from a book by Thich Nhat Hanh, but this one could have used some editing. There was a lot of repetition, which was both confusing and annoying. So you might say I got angry. Fortunately, the book also helped me deal with that.

This Book Has Transformed my Life for the Best!

January 21, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

OMG This book has changed my life. I am still reading it, but it is superb. Thich Nhat Hanh's wisdom is amazing. He is my spiritual Guru and I love his writing. It aligns and centers me and helps me dissolve past disruptive chapters in my life all the while moving forward to a happy future and present. This book ROCKS. I am a buddhist-taoist whom loves learning about spirituality.

Interesting Read

October 29, 2008

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

It's an interesting read. He delves briefly into Buddhist-oriented practice, "eating healthy food and drinking milk from happy cows" comes to mind. Whether or not that resonates with you, or makes you want to throw the book away, the actual lessons in the book are really something good. It's a very easy to read, quick primer on a working method to ending problems with anger issues.

The lessons repeat throughout the book, and essentially boil down to the Buddhist idea of mindfulness; to pay attention to things, including yourself. If you're angry, stop what you're doing and figure out why. There is rarely anything more important than *stopping* when you find yourself angry. Practicing not being angry, over time, makes it much easier to not be angry, and so on.

As far as "easy to read", many self help books - heck, many books of many genres - seem to make the text more difficult, to make the author sound more important. This doesn't make that pretense, at all. It feels like an incredibly well written book report, written by the world's most enlightened fifth grader. It makes for an easy conversant tone, and a quick read, and a quick re-read.

For some people, the lessons and stories in the book might be very obvious. For others out here, it helps to read it once. If you've had problems with anger, if you have two to four hours to read through this, and trying to improve yourself is worth $10 to you, this book is certainly worth a shot.

One of my favorite authors

May 14, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

http://amzn.to/2qgBUWG
A Vietnamese monk who has walked with Martin Luther King and has championed for rights of others does not disappoint in yet another one of his great writings. He is a huge spiritual leader in the Buddhist faith and is from the Plum Village Monastery in France. Reading his words will calm your soul. The way he writes is healing and to listen to him speak, also very healing. I was scheduled to go to a one week retreat with him in 2009 but he got the pneumonia and could not make the retreat. Needless to say I was quite saddened. I have read his books for years!
If you struggle with anger and calming yourself down. This book has some great information and advice for "cooling the flames." I have bought a second copy and I lend it out from my lending library. The adolescents that I have loaned ti to seem to like it alright and it has been passed to 3 of them so far. It is a quick read and Thich Nhat Hahn doesn't disappoint. Just as his others, I believe it to be a great book. Thay has written many many books. And honestly probably whatever book you get by him will probably be a great book.

Good Tools for Dealing with Anger

May 11, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Good advise for dealing with anger without creating more chaos. Like the idea of limit response so not lashing out but taking time to understand what is going on inside - fear etc. that triggers the anger. Also like the tools for slowing down and coming back with compassion and hearing what is going on with other person.

Disappointed so far

This book seems to be about fixing relationships that have been torn apart by anger rather than personal anger within.Read more

Really makes you think about how you react to situations, a bit repetitive but I think it's meant to be a constant reminder. I think everyone should read this at least once.
