Join world-renowned meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg for a conversation with Q&A on her new book,  Love Your Enemies: How to Break the Anger Habit & Be a Whole Lot Happier. Hosted by Banyen Books.

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, Love Your Enemies teaches us how to 1) Break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking 2) Develop compassion, patience, and love 3) Accept what is beyond our control and 4) Embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts.
