DISCOVER HOW A MISUNDERSTOOD EMOTION CAN OFFER YOU CLARITY, PURPOSE AND STRENGTH

Feeling ashamed or afraid of anger is a major factor in why many of us suffer with anxiety and depression. When we repress our rage, it harms our health and quietly sabotages our most important relationships.

Yet when we learn to listen to it properly and act on it wisely, anger becomes a source of remarkable insight, energy and purpose – an emotion that not only protects us but helps improve all areas of our lives, from love to creativity to professional success.

In Good Anger, journalist Sam Parker traces his own journey with our most misunderstood emotion, explores how it became a cultural taboo, and argues why anger should be the next frontier of the mental health movement.

Drawing on lessons from psychology, philosophy and science, he proposes a radical new path for people pleasers and conflict avoiders everywhere.

Provocative, insightful and timely, this book will help you understand your own struggle with anger – and transform your relationship to it completely.
