Don't get mad. Get calm.

Ask yourself: "Do I really want to be angry?" Leonard Scheff, a trial attorney who used anger to fuel his courtroom persona, realized the answer had to be no. Anger is toxic. Anger is in the eyes of the beholder.

Using simple Buddhist principles and applying them in a way that is easy for non-Buddhists to understand and put into practice, Scheff and Susan Edmiston have created an interactive book that helps readers change perspective, step-by-step, so that they can replace the anger in their lives with newfound happiness. Based on the Transforming Anger workshop Shceff created, The Cow in the Parking Lot shows how anger is based on unmet demands, from the reasonable (we want love from our partner) to the irrational (we want respect from a total stranger) to the impossible (we want someone to fix everything in our life).
The authors show how, once we identify our real unmet demands, we can dissolve the anger. The same is true for our "buttons"--once we understand them, we can defuse what happens when they're pushed.

We learn to laugh at ourselves, a critical early step in changing angry behavior. We learn how to deal with the anger of others, and ultimately how to transform anger into compassion.

And finally, we learn the liberating truth: Only you can make yourself angry.

Toy provides much fun and hilarity, seam rips.
Size: 20 x 4 x 4 in, Pattern Name: Eggplant, Size: 20 x 4 x 4 in, Pattern Name: Eggplant
So, I kind of bought this on a whim. But our dogs absolutely love this toy, and it provides many moments of hilarity as watching our medium sized dogs tote this giant toy around, whipping it back and forth, hitting themselves with it, is constant entertainment. The squeaker is still working nearly 6 months later, which is amazing. I only took off one star because I have had to perform surgery on this toy multiple times due to the seam coming open, letting the stuffing out, which is a major issue. I have to take it away from them (which they hate) then find time to sew it up until the next spot opens up. If I was smart, I'd just have reinforced the entire seam the first time, but no one said I was smart.

My dog loves this hot pepper. It's our 2nd but the red fur does come off so don't leave your pet unattended with it for an extended amount of time.
