<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Anger is a universal human emotion, and it can manifest in some pretty nasty ways. But it is also amazingly workable. In this guide to the practice of inner peace, Pema Chèodrèon shows us how to recognize anger in ourselves when it first begins to rise, how to sit with the discomfort it causes, and how to let it dissipate. By taking responsibility for the seeds of aggression in our own hearts and minds, we can help create a new culture of compassion for ourselves and for the world." -- Provided by publisher<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>Inspiring teachings on what each of us can do to promote peace from the inside ou</b>t.</b> <p/>Can there be hope for a peaceful future in times like these?
