Critic reviews

Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace if applied, would build a monument of ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity.
He shows us the connection between personal, inner peace, and peace on earth.
Hanh doesn't limit his task to discussing anger between families and friends; he also deals with anger between citizens and governments. That expansive vision is not surprising (Hanh, after all, is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee) but it is refreshing, lifting this book out of the self-absorbed, self-help pile.
Reminding us that small spiritual matters are really large spiritual matters, the author offers wisdom and serenity to comfort readers as they work through anger to a place of 'being peace.

I instantly connected with the voice & ever since I downloaded it, I keep going back to listening chunks of it at a time. There's so much wisdom in the book, I feel like I need to space the chapters out to process and act on what I've learnt. Beautifully read, it is a day to day guidance on how to manage our negative emotions, not blame others for how we feel & focus on what we have, rather than seeking something that we don't. love & resonate with every word of it 🙏

I've listened to it a number of times 💙

I have had the audiobook for a while, in my library, and recently it felt like it might be time to listen to it. Did I get it all, not this first listen. Will I listen again, definitely. Do I feel that after only one listen it has made a difference to me and my anger - yes. This is big, lifestyle-changing thinking and is absolutely worth the listen if you have anger in your life (which we all do, and should be happy about - and this book gives the foundations of how to approach and care for your anger). Everyone should listen to it, and even if we apply only a small amount of it to our life’s, the entire world would be a better place.

This is a very good place to start.

I have read and listened to lots of self help books but this one finds a really lovely and calm way to assist and the message is a powerful one. If everyone listened to this audio book and practiced the teachings there is absolutely no doubt the world would be a calmer place!

A lovely listen
