In a Times of India article, author Narayani Ganesh draws on Jungian psychology, Zen Buddhism and J Krishnamurti to offer a path to managing anger. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung held that recognising and integrating the 'shadow', the dark side containing anger and greed, reduces unconscious outbursts and projection onto others. Zen priest Kaaren Maezen Miller says regular zazen (sitting meditation) helped her slow down and resist anger's pressure. Krishnamurti, in 'Freedom from the Known', questions the idea of righteous anger and argues that true freedom lies in being beyond anger itself.
