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

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace if applied, would build a monument of ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

"He shows us the connection between personal, inner peace, and peace on earth." —His Holiness The Dalai Lama

"Hanh doesn't limit his task to discussing anger between families and friends; he also deals with anger between citizens and governments. That expansive vision is not surprising (Hanh, after all, is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee) but it is refreshing, lifting this book out of the self-absorbed, self-help pile." —Publishers Weekly

"Reminding us that small spiritual matters are really large spiritual matters, the author offers wisdom and serenity to comfort readers as they work through anger to a place of 'being peace.'" —Library Journal

About the Author

Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese monk, a rare combination of mystic, scholar, and activist and one of the most beloved Buddhist teachers in the West. Poet, Zen master, and chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation during the Vietnam War, he was nominated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for the Nobel Peace Prize.

May 5, 2017

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Read it dude, just do it. You won't regret it.

August 11, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I had to buy another copy of this book after having given it to someone. The book itself is one of my favorite things to have ever read. The teachings, if applied, will help you to view deeply into yourself to make a change for the better; to not just control your emotions, but to understand them, and even understand others. This is my third copy of this book and I have to say it's my favorite. The outside (paperback) is sturdy and has a nice texture to it. The enso circle is also a nice touch. I put this book on display on my bookshelf because it just looks so nice.

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.
