It's easy to identify rage in people who lose their temper, but we may not recognize more subtle manifestations of anger, such as being uncomfortable with loose ends, acting impatiently, or being overly critical. Angry people may not 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. This book examines the root causes of anger and can help you realize your patterns and break the destructive cycles that hurt you and others around you. It also teaches how to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anger so that you may choose- or help someone else to choose- a better path.
