2022 #15: Taming the Tiger Within (Thich Nhat Hanh)

 

Taming the Tiger Within: Meditations on Transforming Difficult EmotionsTaming the Tiger Within: Meditations on Transforming Difficult Emotions by Thich Nhat Hanh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a series of aphorisms and meditations to help us ground ourselves when faced with their own anger. There isn't really an overarching sense of "book", but it functioned more as a long 45 minute meditation on the nature of our own anger and the impact it can have on those we love. Thich Nhat Hanh's wisdom is rooted in Buddhism, but shares much with many other meditative practices and religious ideas. While nothing was overly revelatory, the gentle narration and the reminders of meeting our own anger before reacting to it were helpful during a time of inner turmoil.
