Psychologist Marvin Levine draws from a wide variety of Buddhist and Indian yogic practices, stories, personal anecdotes, and psychology to highlight the similarities and congruencies between these areas for the purpose of advancing an approach toward optimal happiness. The final section of the book focuses particularly on anger from a variety of perspectives, such as how it is expressed, how it is represented in the nervous system, and how it can be counteracted. Book includes a general bibliography and two separate bibliographies on Buddhist and yogic resources. (Zach Rowinski 2004-05-26)
