Deeply Profound

One of the most loving,kindness and compassionate books I have read in years,a must if you would like to know about the negativity and how to move beyond it.

Anger Management

This book reiterates in a different and more pithy format--one major idea on each page presented in a centered paragraph--the same ideas that were presented in his other book "Anger, Wisdom for Cooling the Flames." A very good book for getting anger under control using basic Buddhist philosophy, which is the practice of what Hanh calls Mindfulness, which means being present, aware and living in present time. I highly recommend this book for quick-tempered people, who wish they had their temper more under control. http://gaylealstrom.blogspot.com
