Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames

Two and a half millennia ago, Buddha discovered beneath the bodhi tree in India that three states of mind—erroneous knowledge, compulsive desire, and anger—were the root of all human misery. While all are challenging, rage, one of the strongest emotions, has the capacity to devastate lives and undermine spiritual growth and well-being in an instant. Buddhist monk and Vietnam exile Thich Nhat Hanh provides guidance and techniques for healing relationships, refocusing energy, and reviving the aspects of ourselves that anger has destroyed with beautiful simplicity. As Thich Nhat Hanh once said, "his extraordinary wisdom can transform your life and the lives of the people you love." It can literally "change everything."
