About this listen
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.

“We are born adventurers,” Bolitho writes, “and the love of adventures never leaves us till we are very old; old, timid men, in whose interest it is that adventure should quite die out. This is why all the poets are on one side, and all the laws on the other; for laws are made by, and usually for, old men." Though his essays are nearly 100 years old, they encompass the timeless values of perseverance, bravery, and strength of spirit that have proven to resonate with the pioneers and thought leaders of today.

This book helps men understand their anger by explaining what the specific symptoms of chronic anger are and by showing angry men how their actions negatively affect family, friends, and coworkers.

"Anger is a signal and one worth listening to," writes Dr. Harriet Lerner in her renowned classic that has transformed the lives of millions. While anger deserves our attention and respect, women still learn to silence our anger, to deny it entirely, or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless and powerless. In this engaging and eminently wise book, Dr. Lerner teaches both women and men to identify the true sources of anger and to use it as a powerful vehicle for creating lasting change.

It's easy to identify rage in people who lose their temper at traffic jams, unruly children, unresponsive coworkers, and unrealistic bosses. But we may not recognize more subtle manifestations of anger, such as being uncomfortable with loose ends, acting impatiently, or being overly critical. That is anger, too. And, as is so often the case, angry folks don't seem to realize that the behavior causing them problems at home or at work actually stems from unrecognized and unresolved pain and emotional injuries from the past.

When you are criticized or rejected, do you have a tendency to lash out or withdraw entirely? Both types of kneejerk reactions can have lasting and unintended consequences, affecting our friendships, careers, families, and romantic relationships. The truth is, overreacting hurts us as much as it hurts the people around us. You may see overreacting as an unchangeable part of your personality, but in reality, this tendency, like any other, can be unlearned.

Shivers
This detailed analysis of multiple styles of anger sent shivers through me. I felt a profound sense of relief when hearing the "Sneaky Anger" chapter. The authors' examples and explanations articulate my frustration when faced with passive aggression, and the consequential powerlessness I've felt countless times. I'm going to listen to this book many times, paying keener attention to my personal struggles with explosive rage - which often lights up in response to others' anger. I think my parents demonstrated the same dynamic I've reinacted in numerous partnerships. My mom says she didn't need to express anger, since my dad did it for her. I love them both, and we're all human. However, I want to get off this hamster wheel, and spend my time with more joy and creativity. I'm looking forward to implementing the advice and facing the uncomfortable truth within this amazing book.

Great help to me
This book gives many techniques for overcoming your anger and helps raise awareness of the various types of anger so you can recognize if you have an issue. This was helpful to me because once I recognize an issue, I can tackle it.
