Description

A life without anger is attainable if you understand The Anger Fallacy. Anger is everywhere, behind everything from road rage to wrap rage, domestic violence to international conflicts. People cling to their anger, as a tool of influence and a driver of revenge. But is anger really ever useful? And can we learn to overcome it? This book shows you how to take a radical approach to anger management, exploding the irrational beliefs that fuel this noxious and misunderstood emotion. Through numerous examples from popular culture and the consulting room, and with a sizable dose of humour, the authors show how to combat anger by substituting empathy and understanding for righteous angry judgments. From this book, you will learn a new way of viewing people and their actions that is at once powerful and serene.
