About the book

In this gentle yet profound guide, Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh reveals how to transform anger from a destructive force into a path toward deeper understanding and compassion. Rather than suppressing or indulging our rage, he teaches us to cradle it mindfully—like holding a crying baby—allowing us to discover the hurt and fear beneath. Through Buddhist wisdom and practical exercises, readers learn to heal both themselves and their relationships by embracing anger as a teacher rather than an enemy.
