Books like Anger by Robert A. F. Thurman


Robert A. F. Thurman, a leading authority on Buddhism, examines anger as one of the "three poisons" that underlie human suffering. He contrasts Western views that see anger as an inevitable, unavoidable evil with Eastern philosophy, which teaches that anger can be understood, overcome, and ultimately transformed. Thurman outlines practical ways to recognize anger’s destructive patterns, to recognize its role as a slave, and to cultivate wisdom‑guided patience. He argues that conquering anger is not only possible but the most valuable endeavor of a lifetime, offering readers a roadmap to convert this deadly emotion into a powerful force for freedom from suffering.

Healing Anger by 7180862|His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso the XIV Dalai Lama book cover

📘 Healing Anger
 by His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso the XIV Dalai Lama

All the world's major religions emphasize the importance of the practice of love, compassion, and tolerance. This is particularly true in the Buddhist traditions, which unanimously state that compassion and love are the foundation of all paths of practice. To cultivate the potential for compassion and love inherent within us, it is crucial to counteract their opposing forces of anger and hatred. In this book, the Dalai Lama shows how through the practice of patience and tolerance we can overcome the obstacles of anger and hatred. He bases his discussion on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, the classic work on the activities of Bodhisattvas—those who aspire to attain full enlightenment in order to benefit all beings.
