À propos de cet e-book

Learn the sometimes-surprising ways this emotion damages health and happiness—and find “a thirty-day program to rid people of the negative effects of anger” (Publishers Weekly).

Road rage, school shootings, workplace violence, domestic abuse, epidemics of drug addiction and obesity—all of these are manifestations of an overarching problem gripping our society: anger. But the effects aren’t always as dramatic and visible: In our day-to-day lives, anger can slowly eat away at our bodies and souls.

This book aims to cleanse your system and strengthen you against the toxic effects of anger with a practical, step-by-step thirty-day program. It is one thing to have an intellectual understanding of what is harmful. It is something else to know how to actually get rid of anger. The Anger Diet bridges the gap between intellectual understanding and practical action.

You’ll discover the twenty-four forms of anger, many of which are hidden. As each form is identified and addressed in its own chapter, readers are asked to give up one form of anger and are given a replacement for it. One chapter per day, one day at a time, you can learn how to loosen anger's hold on your life and gain greater happiness, health, and peace.

“Well-organized and thoroughly practical . . . outlines and deals with twenty-four different forms of anger that can be replaced with healthy and constructive responses.” —Spirituality and Practice
