What’s Good About Anger? Dealing with Rage! Fifth Edition! for community groups and a general readership.
Most people believe that anger is a negative emotion from which no good can come. Many people think that anger should not be expressed and that such feelings are sinful. This new 2021 book explores the emotion of anger and how anger – which is a part of the human experience – is a force which can be used for good. This new edition now includes how to assess whether you have a problem with rage and deal with! Lynette Hoy presents a fresh approach to managing anger through: identification of triggers, stress management, problem-solving, assertiveness, conflict management, forgiveness and challenging false beliefs and cognitive distortions. This book expands on: emotional intelligence application, understanding the physiology of anger, steps to apology and insights for successfully managing anger!
Chronic anger can be costly – physically, emotionally and relationally. Most people can use their anger in appropriate ways in some situations, and yet can be ineffectual or harmful in other situations. Applying principles from the What’s Good About Anger? book and workbooks can reduce your levels of anger, and help you learn effective coping behaviors to stop escalation and to resolve conflicts. Logging anger, triggering situations and applying new skills will help you more effectively control unhealthy anger responses.
