User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Interesting Read
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.

5 Stars Wonderful…This book changed my life!
I was introduced to Thich Nhat Hahn by my therapist and found that it extremely useful. I am bipolar and had problems with anger and dealing with emotions but this book was a useful guide to see things in another point of view. It changed my perception of what anger really is. A must for any self help library.

5 Stars Changed the Way I Look At Everything
I picked this book off my parents' bookshelf because the title intrigued me. Little did I know that the way I looked at anger would change forever. I now understand that I do not have to be a victim of my emotions and that through the practice of mindfulness I can transform. I have recommended this book to friends and they have had the same experience. Thich Nhat Han has changed the way I look at everything!

5 Stars Embracing Your Anger
I picked this up after my anger started careening out of control, especially at work. This book was responsible for putting me back on the dharma path. Thich Naht Hanh's writings on Buddhism are incredibly lucid, and easy to apply to your daily life. Since discovering this book, I've read four others by Thich Naht Hanh, and am currently working on a fifth. My life has been transformed since reading this book, but keep in mind that I've also been meditating daily and meeting regularly with a sangha. Whether you're looking to "walk the path" or simply gain some control over your emotions, this book is an effective resource.
