You have in Dr. Jeffrey Brantleys latest book a profoundly useful and accessible approach to improving your day-to-day life experiences. Here you can learn and practice simple techniques that will improve your health and your relationships and, perhaps most importantly, provide you with everyday peace of mind.
Anger is something everyone experiences. Indeed, feeling irritated, annoyed, or even outraged is an unavoidable fact of being human. It is vital to know, though, that anger comes with its own blinders and rigid beliefs. It narrows your thinking and pulls you into the blame game. Anger also covers its tracks by making you absolutely certain that your view of the offending situation is 100 percent correct. Making matters worse, any emotion that you feel in this moment slyly works to increase the odds that youll feel that same emotion in the next moment. With all the insidious ways that anger can control your mind, you can begin to see how it can come to dominate your days, even your life.
Yet even though angerlike any other negative emotionis to be expected as a normal human experience, the truth is that you need not become a victim of your anger. Psychological science makes it clear that you can choose not to cultivate or prolong your angry experiences. Anger need not become a lifestyle. Science has cataloged the damage done when this challenging state of mind becomes a persons baseline, or first impulse: you can pay a high price in terms of compromised health, strained relationships, and unhappiness.
If anger has come to rule you in ways that you no longer appreciate, rest assuredyou can change. This book can help. Drawing equally on ancient wisdom traditions and twenty-first century scientific breakthroughs, Dr. Brantley skillfully weaves practices for calming your angry mind together with vivid success stories that will inspire you to achieve the changes you seek.
You will learn core practices of mindfulness and compassion, plus how and when to deploy them. You will gain wisdom and insight into your own inner workings. You will learn to curb your angry and other negative feelings in ways that will allow you to find more joy, more connection, and more meaning in your days. You will pave the way toward flourishing.
Congratulations on taking the first steps toward understanding your mind and your anger. I wish you every success as you absorb and put into practice the deep wisdom that Dr. Brantley offers here.
