Introduction
Anger is part of life — no less than memory, happiness, and compassion.No one chooses to be angry. Anger is a reaction that’s built into your nervous system. In fact, anger is one of the first emotions mothers recognize in their newborn infants. So, it’s never too early to start anger management. Anger says more about you — your temperament, how you view the world, how balanced your life is, and how easily you forgive others — than it does about other people. You don’t have to be a victim of your own anger — you can choose how you respond when the world doesn’t treat you the way you want it to. You have just as much choice about how you express your anger as you do about what color shirt you wear, what you eat for breakfast, or what time you go jogging this afternoon. You also have a choice about how much of yesterday’s anger you carry into the future and how much anger you are likely to experience tomorrow. If I didn’t believe that, I would have been doing something very different with my professional life
for the past 40 years! No one is exempt from problematic anger. Anger is a very democratic emotion — it causes problems for men and women, kids and the elderly, rich and poor, educated and uneducated, people of all colors and ethnic backgrounds, believers and nonbelievers. Tens of millions of human beings needlessly suffer from what I call toxic anger — anger that literally poisons your life — each and every day of their lives. Anger is not something that can — or should be — cured. But you have to manage it well — at home, at work, and in your most intimate relationships if you want to benefit from it. Anger Management For Dummies tells you how to manage your anger by focusing on the positive — how to get a good night’s sleep, how to change your perspective on life, why confession is better for you than venting, how to transform conflicts into challenges, and much more. Anger management has moved far beyond the simplistic (albeit well-intentioned) advice of years past to count to ten or take a couple of deep eaths every time you get angry — and that’s good news!

About This Book
How do you know when you have too much anger? Do you determine that for yourself, or do you let other people make that call? If you’re not physically aggressive — physically hurting other people or poking holes in walls — does that mean you’re not angry? Does it really help to vent, to get things off your chest, or are you better off keeping your mouth shut in order to keep the peace? Can angry people really change or do they have to go through life suffering because that’s just the way they are? And what should you do if you’re on the wrong end of someone else’s anger? These are all important questions that Anger Management For Dummies answers for you.
