When people and circumstances upset us, how do we deal with them? Often, we feel victimized. We become hurt, angry, and defensive. We end up seeing others as enemies, and when things don’t go our way, we become enemies to ourselves. But what if we could move past this pain, anger, and defensiveness? Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in life: the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to . . .break free from the mode of "us" versus "them" thinking develop compassion, patience, and love accept what is beyond our control embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share stories and exercises for achieving finding peace within yourself and with the world. Drawing from ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology, Love Your Enemies presents tools that are useful for all readers.

Review

"If life is a struggle, this book is your friend. Its whispered truths, like the first inklings of the dawn, bring both relief and recognition. Return to it time and again; its good humor and wise counsel are a balm for the soul."
—Mark Epstein, author of The Trauma of Everyday Life

"If there are two beings in the whole world whom I trust with my whole heart to give powerful, honest, kind, and deeply truthful teachings that can free us from burning in the mental anguish that is the ‘new normal’ in these anxious and fear-ridden times, it is Tenzin Bob Thurman and Sharon Salzberg. Having known both of them for many years, I can say that I am blessed that they are with me on this desert island called Earth."
—Krishna Das, musician and author of Chants of a Lifetime

"Brilliant! Love Your Enemies is possibly the most inspiring and liberating meditation on love ever written."
—Robert Holden, Ph.D., author of Shift Happens! and Loveability

Very helpful.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book will challenge your preconceptions about the anger response while also providing you with new ways of introspection. The author provides a great guide for improving your life and a roadmap to get out of the anger habit. She writes from a Buddhist psychology point of view but her philosophy can be broadly applied. I have recommended this book to others with great success.

Turn your Anger around.

In a world filled with so many things to be angry about I find this book so helpful. I write my anger on Facebook, email and feel it so often when I see how people and animals and the earth are treated by those who's greed has no end. I know that my anger makes the fire hotter and so was so happy to find this book. It gives me the answer to what can be done to fight, in a different way.
I think it would be a wonderful world if we all could live in this way. Please read this.

Very Good Read

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

There is a lot to reflect on in this book. I got it for someone else who has anger management issues but felt that I should read it first before giving it to the person. I found it very useful and I am already a very patient person. It gets a little more complicated midway or near the end and you will not be able to speed read it, but there is a lot of material to digest which is good.

Something new even if you think you know it all about LovingKindness practice!

I recommend this book to everyone I know who wants help with forgiveness, or wants to know how to deal with their negative emotions. I keep it with me on my Kindle to read whenever I have free moments. It adds to the knowledge I have about this practice and to my own meditation practice daily.
This is a must read.

This is a good book. You will find the two perspectives complementary and the practical meditations in the back of the book a wonderful addition. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to enrich their lives by being less angry and interested in furthering their understanding of the subject with the help of two wonderful authors and contemplative teachers.
