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: the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that
mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other
destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that
isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated
self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true
happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to
identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our
relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to: - Break
free from the mode of "us" versus "them" thinking - develop
compassion, patience, and love - Accept what is beyond our control
- Embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts
Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share
stories and exercises for achieving finding 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.
