Book Reviews of Taming the Tiger Within: Meditations on Transforming Difficult Emotions
Book Review: As inspirational, helpful, intelligent ...as his other great works.
Summary: 4 Stars
Actually I find it hard to comment on the author's books with words other than the standard positive ones coz they are always as intelligent, bright, inspirational, helpful....as they can be. I just keep do so to keep a record for my own reference. Pardon me. In short, recommended.
Below please find some of my favorite passages for your reference.
Every time you feel lost alienated, or cut off from life, or from the world, every time you feel despair, anger or instability, practice going home. Mindful breaking is the vehicle that you use to go back to your true home. pg 99
If your house is on fire, the most urgent thing to do is to go back and try to put out the fire, not to run after the person you believe to be the arsonist. pg 107
The reason we are foolish enough to make ourselves suffer and make the other person suffer is that we forget that we and the other person are impermanent. Someday, when we die, we will lose all our possessions, our power, our family, everything. Our freedom, peace, and joy in the present moment is the most important thing we have. But without an awakened understanding of impermanence, it is not possible to be happy. pg 119
If it is your partner who is angry, just listen. Listen and do not react....Do not listen for the purpose of judging, criticizing, or analyzing. Listen only to help the other person express himself and find some relief from his suffering. pg 159
We cannot enjoy life if we spend a lot of time worrying about what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow. We worry about tomorrow because we are afraid. If we are afraid all the time, we cannot appreciate that we are alive and can be happy now. pg 179
