This post is dedicated to my two dear english-speaking friends:
Judi (Saskatchewan,Canada) and Marla (California, USA).
I am sorry, my blog is mainly in italian but I don't forget you and I will write some summaries of my posts in english every now and then..:-)
For now I have reviewed some books on anger seen from the american-western and eastern-buddhist point of view. I particularly appreciated the book of the Dalai Lama and the american psychologist Daniel Goleman:
Destructive Emotions: A Scientific Dialogue with the Dalai lama Bantam Books, 2003
I suggest it to you. I am also reading the other three books that you see in another post , one is by an italian neuropsychiatrist, Rosario Sorrentino, interviewed on anger by a journalist.
The other one is Anger, by Robert Thurman, a former buddhist monk and american schiolar that faces anger from a western-buddhsit perspective. The last one is the point of view of the zen buddhist Thick Nhat Hahn on anger.
In another post I explain the reason why I use the nickname Librellula ..it's taken from the name of a library of women of Bologna (closed in 1997) that joins the name libri (books) and libellula (dragonfly).. I like the levity of that insect and one of the passion of my life, books.. I'd like to fly using the pages of a book as wings..:-).
In my first post you can see a terrific landscape of Tibet ..it's a photo of the famous photographer Steve Mc Curry whose exhib I saw in Milan in the last November.. it cocentrates a photographer that I like very much with a land where I'd like to go for its beauty and spirituality..
