Praise for Anger

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.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

He shows us the connection between personal, inner peace, and peace on earth.

His Holiness The Dalai Lama

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.

Publishers Weekly

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.

Library Journal

Thich Nhat Hanh's work, on and off the page, has proven to be the antidote to our modern pain and sorrows ... His books help me be more human, more me than I was before
