When others or situations provoke our anger, how do we deal with it? We often feel hurt, angry, or a desire for self-defense, ending up viewing others as enemies. And when things don't go our way, we become enemies to ourselves. But what if we could find a better path and achieve inner peace and peace with the world around us? In this book, the authors, drawing from the wellspring of Eastern wisdom, of which each is a leading contemporary teacher, present the four types of enemies we face in our lives: the external enemy, represented by people, institutions, or situations that intend to harm us; the internal enemy, represented by anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the hidden enemy, represented by self-absorption that isolates us from others; and the greater hidden enemy, represented by deep self-hatred that prevents us from achieving inner freedom and true happiness. Ancient Eastern wisdom states: "Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love," and in a divided world like ours, reading this book is essential for anyone who seeks to apply these words in their daily lives. This augmented edition includes new introductions written specifically for this version by the authors.
