Inhaltsangabe

New edition of the international bestseller by Gael Lindenfield. In a bright two-colour package, this book offers simple strategies for taming your own temper as well as handling the anger of others.

Anger is a natural emotional response to threat, hurt, frustaration or loss. As such, it’s a healthy survival tool. Letting off steam is a vital means of releasing a build-up of emotional pressure.

But anger is also a dangerous force. Uncontrolled fury can lead to rash words, violence and destructiveness, while repressed rage can result in bitterness, stress, misery and guilt. Both extremes can seriously damage your health.

In ‘Managing Anger’, Gael Lindenfield clearly explains the effects of anger on our minds and bodies, and suggets ways of dealing both with our own anger and that of other people.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Anger is a very natural response to hurt, frustration, bereavement, loss or threat.

But it can also be a very damaging response, and, unless we deal with it effectively the results can be highly destructive. We might take out our feelings on people we love, we may feel violent or we may turn our anger in upon ourselves – feeling regret, guilt, bitterness or even apathy. Because this is an emotion we often try to hide from ourselves as well as from others, we are often not aware quite how deep our anger runs.

'Managing Anger' explains:

•
the effects of anger on our bodies and minds
•
strategies for preventing the build-up of frustration
•
how to deal assertively with problems of buried and misdirected anger
•
how to keep calm when faced with outbursts

Gael Lindenfield is the author of the best-selling 'Super Confidence, Assert Yourself, Self Esteem, Self Motivation, Confident Children' and 'The Positive Woman'. She works as a psychotherapist and group work consultant, running successful courses in personal development.
