The techniques and philosophy described in this book are magical. Not only does it help you soothe your anger, it teaches you to embrace it, as you would a crying child. It does not treat anger as something to be 'purged' from your system,for example by punching a pillow. It is something to be gently looked after and understood. I often use the meditation techniques described when I am feeling angry, and every time they have been helpful, and I have gained insight into myself and the situation. I have also stopped being angry with myself for being angry, as reading this book has made me realise that to be angry is not 'wrong'. I had also never thought of anger as suffering, but it is; reading this book helps you see the true nature of your anger.
 unmindful of the reader February 5, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you're angry and looking for help then this book is unlikely to bring you any immediate solace or practical guidance. There are some nice ideas here but like most Buddhist writings they are presented in an unmindful way, i.e. with no consideration for the non-Buddhist reader and those unwilling to self-edit the material to make it usable.
The nice ideas: 'mindful' breathing whenever you are about to explode, owning and taking responsibility for your anger, 'venting' by punching pillows = rehearsing your anger, are interesting but...you can find these tips in any anger book or website out there, try Dr Irene's 'tips to help the control freak give up angry control' - it's only one side of A4 long and far more immediate.
It's quite a disorganised read overall and the mindful meditation exercises at the back are poorly explained. Shame really.
If you are a man looking for immediate advice on dealing with your anger then my advice is to try either Beyond Anger: A Guide For Men or some practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy using the Feeling Good Handbook.
I thought the ideas here were useful but poorly presented, so for those with an interest in Thich's ideas buy it, for those with more practical needs written in everyday English try the books above.
Inspiring and very important. Please read this book even if feel you don't need to. January 6, 2007

I am skeptical of most "self-help" books as I believe in most cases the author has an ulterior motive or that the book has been constructed on a flawed and potentially damaging basis (such as pure "positive thinking"). However, this is different.
On first opening "Anger..." I read half of it without being able to put it down. I didn't even buy the book for me, rather because I thought it might help a friend.
This book is not just about anger in terms of shouting or saying hurtful things. It encompasses so much more and may help you recognise hidden anger in yourself and others, and as importantly, help you take positive steps to address it.
Read past the first part about "consuming anger" and don't let it put you off. TNH gives advice in straightforward terms and it is clear that what he says is what he believes and what he lives.
This is not a quick-fix. You can put the principles into practice straight away but it will take months or more (well-spent) to really understand.
This book has excited me enough to take action. I hope it inspires you.
Look after your anger June 26, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've just finished reading this excellent book and would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who ever feels angry. It's particularly helpful for couples and estranged families who wish to rekindle their love.
It's simple to follow, not at all specific to Buddhists and is really very practical. Thich Nhat Hanh shows how becoming aware of our anger when it arises can help us to "look after our anger" and lead us to develop understanding. (From a Buddhist perspective all suffering has it's roots in ignorance.)
The book is full of excellent suggestions on how to work on relationships, teaching 'compassionate listening' and suggesting ways to talk through your suffering. Because what is anger, but a form of suffering?
