ABSTRACT

The preceding chapters dealt primarily with three cognitive methods for handling anger: leam to see the other person differently, question your own belief systems, and take a problem-solving stance. These methods can be practiced even in the absence of someone provo king uso Like other methods described-being in the yogic state, being mindful, reducing attachments-these can all be practiced when life is calm and without challenges. Essentially, we are trying to better understand ourselves and others. This can come about through reading, meditating, and retlecting upon our experiences.
