How to better understand anger and manage it to achieve emotional health
When most people think of someone having a problem with anger they think the person has a "bad temper" or is a negative and unhealthy person. But in this provocative book, respected author and therapist Beverly Engel shows how anger is in fact a normal and healthy emotion. She also describes the unhealthy anger styles, including being afraid to express anger, expressing anger in underhanded ways, and allowing others to act out your anger for you. Engel shows readers how to create an anger style that is not only healthy but life transforming. She combines prescriptive action steps with inspiring personal stories for a positive, easy-to-follow approach to managing anger, whether the problem is violent outbursts or passive-aggressive behavior.
