   Summary: “A relative makes a tactless comment about your child’s weight. The guy behind you on the expressway follows too closely. Your spouse lets the gas tank go down to empty … again. Getting angry is easy. Daily irritations, frustrations, and pain poke at us. Feelings of disappointment, hurt, rejection, and embarrassment prod in us. And once the unwieldy cluster of emotions of anger are aroused, our thoughts and actions can feel out of control and impossible to manage.” Dr. Gary Chapman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 5 Love Languages

About Anger: Taming a Powerful Emotion

Help for anger management — from NYT bestselling author Gary Chapman

Anger is a cruel master. If you struggle even a little with anger, you know how it feels to get mad too easily. To lash out at someone you love. To hold onto frustration. You might even notice others seem uneasy around you.

You know anger is hurting your life, but you don’t know how to fix it.

There is hope. When you understand why you get angry and what to do about it, you can change the course of your life for the better. In Anger: Taming a Powerful Emotion, counselor Gary Chapman shares surprising insights about anger, its effect on relationships, and how to overcome it. His advice and real-life examples will help you:

• Understand yourself better

• Overcome shame, denial, and bitterness

• Discern good anger from bad anger

• Manage anger and conflict constructively

• Make positive life changes

• Let go of your grudges and resentment

• Help others (like your children) deal with anger
and more


Whether your anger is quiet or explosive, if it’s clouding your judgment and hurting your relationships, it needs to go. Learn to handle anger in healthy ways, starting today. Gary Chapman is wise and empathetic, and he'll help you turn over a new leaf.
