Summary

A guide to healthy anger expression.

How do you express your anger? Do you blow up? Quietly seethe? Or do you try to pretend that you're really not angry at all and just hope the feelings will go away? Most of us express anger in more than one way, but we also tend to be creatures of habit, falling back on a few predictable styles when we feel angry. Unfortunately, while some styles are appropriate in some situations, others are not - and consistently using an inappropriate style is a sure way to find yourself saddled with a huge anger problem.

This book examines the 11 most common styles of anger expression and helps you learn how to communicate your anger in healthy ways. Learn which anger styles work for different situations - and which ones lead to certain disaster. Find out how to become more flexible and creative at expressing your anger. Once you understand the whole range of anger styles, you'll be able to better manage angry feelings and use your anger as a positive force for building a better life.

A Good Place to Start

I think one of the problems with the self-help genre is that they market a solution but more often than not, the best they achieve is to point the way. This was my opinion of this book. It has some very good information in it but it deals with a highly emotional and deeply charged subject. Anger is a process and I suspect that the length of time it persists depends much on the individual circumstances of the case. The book definitely warrants a second read and then probably ongoing use for reference to get the most out of it. I couldn't decide whether to rate this four stars or three. I opted for four but I suspect different readers will be looking to get slightly different things out of the book so might not agree with me.
