Anger is like fire. Sometimes it can be useful, sometimes it can be destructive, sometimes it can feel that we just can't get a spark started although we feel like we're sitting on a powder keg. We're all human and we all have anger, whether others see us as angry and bitter or smiling and carefree. This book is written to help you understand your own anger, whether it stems from fear, sadness, resentment, control, self-blame or holding on to old pain. It's written to help those who feel burdened with anger that they just can't express, those who feel the pain of almost overwhelming anger or those who find it difficult to get through the day without one really good tantrum. "To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that." Susan Jeffers, Ph.D. author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway and Embracing Uncertainty

パール・ハウィーが描くのは、怒りという荒ぶる火を飼い慣らし、魂の灯火へと変えるための深遠な道標です。本作の本質は、怒りを単なる負の感情としてではなく、誰もが抱える「火」という生命エネルギーとして肯定した点にあります。恐れや悲しみに根ざす怒りの正体を、著者は静謐かつ情熱的な筆致で解き明かし、読者の心の奥底に眠る痛みに寄り添うのです。 本書の見どころは、表向きは穏やかな人々の中にも潜む「静かな憤怒」を浮き彫りにする洞察力です。自己を責める魂が、怒りを通じてどのように自己救済へと至るのか。そのプロセスは、負の感情を他者への贈り物へと昇華させる気高い変容の物語です。読み終えた時、あなたは己の中に燃える炎を愛し、それを前へと進むための聖なる力に変える真の勇気を得るに違いありません。
