Anger is an emotion of resources that can be used for our good, but it is also a volatile emotion that can cause more harm than good. Unfortunately, anger is majorly used as a tool of destruction. However, this need not be. There are ways this unique emotion can be used for our good.
Expressing anger constructively is a perennial challenge for everyone, because of the nature of anger emotion and because of individual differences and preferences. Anger is like a wild horse that you have to tame and use carefully. Anger can give you a ride to Eden and it can give a ride to Hades. It depends on how you use it.
I know you are reading this book because you do not want anger to dictate your actions and life. I understand that feeling. I have been there. After all, we are all human beings. I know how suffocating and humiliating anger can be. But I also know the indispensable role of anger in life, if used effectively.
In this book, I have taken time to address the two sides. If you want to be the boss of your anger—you want to get the hang of anger psychology—you have to know both the benefits and dangers of anger. The benefits will help you to use it constructively, and the dangers will help you to avoid using it in a destructive way like a plague.
You will learn how anger affects health and relationship. I address common anger types such as passive anger, and rare ones—which you might never have heard of—such as vicarious anger. I give examples where I think it will be helpful for your comprehension. I show why some people are more prone to anger than others.
You will also learn how to deal with angry people in this book. For quick reference, you may jump to chapter six where I give pragmatic ways you can manage your anger and handle provoking situations. Notwithstanding, working tips on how you can manage your anger are all over the pages of this book.
At the end of this book, you will have learned practical and easy-to-follow ways you can manage your anger. You will have learned various demonstrative techniques you can use to boss around anger and use it to your advantage. I am confident that the knowledge you will acquire in this book will not only benefit you, but others will also benefit from your knowledge.
