Wisdom for Cooling the Flames by Thich Nhat HanhI just re-read Thich Nhat Hanh's Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames (which I first read in 2003).

Here's the Table of Contents:

Four: Transformation
Five:Compassionate Communication
Six: Your Heart Sutra
Seven: No Enemies
Eight: David and Angelina: the Habit Energy of Anger
Nine: Embracing Anger With Mindfulness
Ten: Mindful Breathing
Eleven: Restoring the Pure Land

Appendix A: Peace Treaty
Appendix B: The Five Mindfulness Trainings
Appendix C: Guided Meditations for Looking Deeply and Releasing Anger
Appendix D: Deep Relaxation

I will write more on this book a bit later.
