On the Back
When people and circumstances upset us, how do we deal with them?
Often, we feel victimized.
We become hurt, angry and defensive.
We end up seeing others as enemies, and when things don’t go our way, we become enemies to ourselves.
But what if we could move past this pain, anger and defensiveness?
Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in life and teaches us not only how to identify our enemies, but more importantly how to transform our relationship to them by:
breaking free from the mode of ‘us’ versus ‘them’ thinking
developing compassion, patience and love
accepting what is beyond our control
embracing lovingkindness, right speech and other core concepts.
Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share stories and exercises for achieving peace within yourself and with the world.
Drawing from ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology, Love Your Enemies presents tools that are useful for all readers.
