About this listen

What is anger? Who is allowed to be angry? How can we manage our anger? How can we use it? It might seem like a day doesn’t go by without some troubling explosion of anger, whether we’re shouting at the kids, or the TV, or the driver ahead who’s slowing us down.

In this audiobook, the first of its kind, Dr. Ryan Martin draws on 20 years plus of research, as well as his own childhood experience of an angry parent, to take an all-round view on this often-challenging emotion. It explains exactly what anger is, why we get angry, how our anger hurts us as well as those around us, and how we can manage our anger and even channel it into positive change. It also explores how race and gender shape society’s perceptions of who is allowed to get angry.

Dr. Martin offers questionnaires, emotion logs, control techniques and many other tools to help listeners understand better what pushes their buttons and what to do with angry feelings when they arise. It shows how to differentiate good anger from bad anger, and reframe anger from being a necessarily problematic experience in our lives to being a fuel that energizes us to solve problems, release our creativity, and confront injustice.

This is very systematic and helpful. However his very liberal political views continuously creep in despite not being relevant to anger or getting mad. Still a great read and I strongly recommend it.

great read

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I was looking for facts and solutions and was inundated with the authors bias and beliefs.

The authors bias detracts from the message.

I will pay full price for a book without judgement, without Americentrism and without "morality."
Mildly annoyed about not being able to return this one for either full or partial refund.

Is there a book on emotions without judgement?

Weak and restating others better and more relevant works. Overall boring and better suited for a classroom.

Not what you are expecting.
