Living Calm: Mastering Anger and Frustration
This is the book you need to master your anger so your anger won't master you. Popular TV host, clinical psychologist, and best-selling author Dr. Ray Guarendi incisively cuts to the heart of the matter to help you determine whether your anger response is justified -- and what to do when it isn't.
Dr. Guarendi unpacks for you the many types of anger and the types of people who suffer most from anger. For some, anger is a trait; for others, it is a state. Some are "wired fiery," with an anger that is always simmering or on a low boil, while the anger of others often comes and goes quickly.
You'll learn why feelings aren't neutral, and whether anger is a product of your nature or nurture. You'll also learn the difference between righteous and unrighteous anger -- and why those closest to us can anger us the most.
In his straightforward, engaging, and humorous style, Dr. Guarendi also unveils healthy strategies for coping with those who make us angry and how we can make choices to regulate our emotions. From this compelling, life-changing book, you will also learn:
The danger of harboring negative feelings
The surprising benefits of anger, as well as its liabilities
Pros and cons of venting anger and of holding it inside
The advantages of exercising self-control in the heat of an argument
Ways to take ownership of your thoughts, words, and actions
Best of all, this book will help you grow in virtue as you develop Christlike patience, charity, self-control, forgiveness, and humility in your relationships with others. By responding prayerfully and choosing to love deliberately, you will attain greater happiness, clarity of mind, and peace of heart.
