"Hold on to your anger, and turn it into compost for your garden."
She had expressed her anger to the monk about her relationship with her boyfriend. He asked her about the qualities he had that angered her. Then he asked her about the qualities in him that made her fall in love in the first place. He asked her, "Are all those reasons you fell in love lost to you?" He was able to make her see that she could reconcile her anger with these feelings and create something beautiful, like a garden. While their intimate relationship didn't work out, Dr. hooks remains close friends with her ex to this day. What a positive thought!
I also loved that Dr. hooks described herself as a "book-slut" reading anything and everything. She also writes the word LOVE on her shoes, so as to always stick to her life's mantra, walk in love.
