Mindfulness & the Art of Managing Anger explores the powerful emotion of toxic anger — what it is, why we experience it and how we can learn to control its destructive power through the very nature of mindfulness. Fusing Western and Buddhist thought, therapeutic tools, specific meditative practices and frank personal anecdotes, this book reveals how we can all clear the red mist for peaceful wellbeing.

Quotes

  • Peter Gazaryanhas quoted7 years ago
    Most angry people have no idea who they are, what they believe in or what they stand for.
  • Altynay Zhumagaliyevahas quoted3 years ago
    Mindfulness is being completely in tune with, and aware of, the present moment. It is also being committed to a non-evaluative and non-judgemental approach to your own and another person’s inner experience. For example, a mindful approach to one’s inner experience is simply viewing ‘thoughts as thoughts’ as opposed to evaluating certain thoughts as positive or negative, good or bad, right or wrong, black or white. Adopting an attitude of empathy buys you time. Instead of creating a catastrophic result, you can approach a situation with a more open heart and mind, which allows for more solutions of mutual benefit to occur that may not have been considered before.
  • Altynay Zhumagaliyevahas quoted3 years ago
    ‘Compassionate detachment simply means we are not attached physically, spiritually, mentally and especially emotionally to the events, things, and people in our lives that we have compassion for. This does not mean we don’t care – because compassion is caring. It means we are not attached in a way that fails to serve the highest good of all.’
