BOOK | Love and Rage

In the face of systemic racism and state-sanctioned violence, how can we metabolize our anger into a force for liberation? In Love and Rage, Lama Rod Owens shows how this unmetabolized anger–and the grief, hurt, and transhistorical trauma beneath it–needs to be explored, respected, and fully embodied to heal from heartbreak and walk the path of liberation. Lama Rod Owens weaves inimitable wisdom and his lived experience with Buddhist philosophy, practical meditation exercises, mindfulness, tantra, pranayama, ancestor practices, energy work, and classical yoga. The result is a book that serves as both a balm and a blueprint for those seeking justice who can feel overwhelmed with anger–and yet who refuse to relent.
