Publisher's Synopsis
The Anger Myth: Understanding and Overcoming the Mental Habits that Steal Your Joy is a step-by-step guide to help readers address their anger in all its forms for a happier, healthier, and more productive life. Whether it manifests as incessant complaining, jealousy, disappointment, impatience, frustration, resentment, or annoyance, anger lies. It brings destruction, stealing time, money, creativity, and joy. Anger has a profound emotional cost. It prevents people from living the life they really want.
The Anger Myth confronts the problem of treating anger as a valid emotion. It exposes the faults and uselessness of this dangerous approach, offering readers a proven strategy to address and control anger and all its manifestations from their lives. It lays out the financial and emotional costs of anger and provides techniques, strategies, and real-life case studies to reframe and redefine triggering events, acknowledge underlying pain and turn the reactions into productive and constructive actions. The Anger Myth will transform readers from rigid to resilient; from egocentric to empathetic; from limited to creative; and from indifferent to joyful. Building on the tradition of bestsellers such as Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames, by Thich Nhat Hanh, The Anger Myth will change the way people approach anger in today's overheated cultural climate.
