'If you want to figure anger out - then this is for you' - FINANCIAL TIMES--TRANSFORM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANGERFeeling ashamed or afraid of anger is a major factor in why many of us suffer with anxiety and depression. Yet when we learn to listen to it properly and act on it wisely, anger becomes a source of remarkable energy and purpose - an emotion that not only protects us but helps improve all areas of our lives, from love to creativity to professional success. In Good Anger, journalist Sam Parker traces his own journey with our most misunderstood emotion, explores how it became a cultural taboo and argues why anger should be the next frontier of the mental health movement. Now with an new chapter on parenting, this provocative, insightful and timely book is for people pleasers and conflict avoiders everywhere.
