Summary of Sharon Salzberg & Robert Thurman's Love Your Enemies

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We can meet the outer enemy when we’ve been harmed. In everyday life, we encounter many forms of harm. We may be insulted or abused, robbed or beaten, bullied or tormented, tortured or even killed. #2 To deal with our enemies, we must first understand them. We must look at them as a potential danger, not unlike a truck approaching us on the highway. We must anticipate the truck’s path and take precautions to avoid it. #3 Bullying is on the rise, and it can be done by individuals, systems, and families. It is typically done by excluding and attacking the victim, and the bully’s insecurity stems from their own weakness. #4 When we are confronted with an enemy, we must be brave enough to confront them head on. Doing so gives us back our power and our effectiveness in the world.
