this was just the wrong time for me, i think. i found myself thinking either, 'yes, yes, of course' or 'that's totally ridiculous,' with a 'need more information' thrown in every once in a while. i picked it up thinking that i could really use a little more compassion in my everyday life, and while that's still true, it just wasn't the right time for me to read this. hopefully i'll try again someday and feel differently.

This books reads like a combination of Proverbs, Ethics of the Fathers and The Letter of Nachmanides, with particular emphasis on the opening anger portion of the latter. Increasingly I'm looking for inner tranquility and equilibrium so that I can successfully deal with all the idiots that surround me and so that I could be a better father and husband. More and more, I prefer my life advice to come from sources untainted and untinged by religious mores. Because, if you delve into the matter, The Bible is filled with examples of bad - not good - parenting. Have a closer look. ( )

Anger is a selfish emotion, and the anecdote to it is compassion. This simple, easy to read book is filled with wisdom that is quickly forgotten if not practiced. Instead of letting anger out; it must be mollified with selfless thoughts and motives. ( )
