Los mejores libros de control de la ira

La base de todas las enseñanzas de Buda consiste en que la infelicidad humana se asienta fundamentalmente en tres elementos: la ignorancia, el apego y la ira. Y, de hecho, la ira, como ha demostrado la ciencia veinticinco siglos después, puede causar graves daños psíquicos y físicos. Sin embargo, no sólo podemos dominarla, sino incluso convertirla en una fuerza positiva, para lo cual disponemos de las herramientas necesarias en nuestro interior. Sólo tenemos que quererlo.

Road rage. Domestic violence. Professionally angry TV and radio commentators. We're a society that is swimming in anger, always about to snap. Leonard Scheff, a trial attorney, once used anger to fuel his court persona, until he came to realize just how poisonous anger is. That and his intense study of Buddhism and meditation changed him. His transformation can be summarized in a simple parable: Imagine you are circling a crowded parking lot when, just as you spot a space, another driver races ahead and takes it. Easy to imagine the rage. But now imagine that instead of another driver, a cow has lumbered into that parking space and settled down. The anger dissolves into bemusement. What really changed? You-your perspective.Using simple Buddhist principles and applying them in a way that is easy for non-Buddhists to understand and put into practice, Scheff has created an interactive book that helps readers change perspective, step by step, so that they can replace the anger in their lives with a newfound happiness. Based on the successful anger management program Scheff created, The Cow in the Parking Lot shows how anger is based on unmet demands, and introduces the four most common types-Important and Reasonable (you want love from your partner); Reasonable but Unimportant (you didn't get that seat in the restaurant window); Irrational (you want respect from a stranger); and the Impossible (you want someone to fix everything wrong in your life).Scheff shows how, once we identify our real unmet demands we can dissolve the anger; how, once we understand our "buttons," we can change what happens when they're pushed. He shows how to laugh at ourselves-a powerful early step in changing angry behavior. By the end, as the reader continues to observe and fill in the exercises honestly, it won't matter who takes that parking space-only you can make yourself angry.

The June 2006 edition of the Archives of General Psychiatry reported that some 7 percent of American adults-as many as 16 million individuals-may suffer from a problem called intermittent explosive disorder (IED) at some time during their lives. This disorder involves episodes of rage so intense that relationships, jobs, property, and even lives can be lost in a single outburst. IED sufferers often report that they even lose conscious awareness of their behavior during these episodes. Obviously, anyone who is stricken with diagnosable IED or even subclincial fits of rage needs help, and they need it as soon as possible. This book, from renowned anger expert Ronald Potter-Efron, offers exactly that. Unique in its genre, this much-needed book breaks down rage generally into three types: survival, impotent, and abandonment or rejection rage. In the first type, the angry individual's behavior is triggered by a sense of danger or threat; in the second, by a feeling of helplessness; and the third type is triggered by a fear of losing a cherished relationship. After a brief discussion the brain and how it functions during moments of extreme emotion, the book turns to the task of putting rage in check. In classic Potter-Efron style, the book places the responsibility for control squarely on the shoulders of the angry individual. There is no room in this dangerous situation for "whys" and "becauses." Instead, you get no-nonsense approach to getting rage under control once and for all.

In this engaging and eminently wise book, Dr. Lerner teaches women to identify the true sources of our anger and to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating lasting change.
