Summary

Windy Dryden draws a distinction between healthy and unhealthy anger, and shows you
how you can control your unhealthy anger by understanding what triggers it. Unhelpful
beliefs and rigid expectations can lead to a cycle of unhealthy anger, which can be
dangerous and destructive.
There is, however, some good news. You have the power to change this pattern and to
develop strategies to express your anger in a helpful way, so that you can communicate
what you feel without scaring yourself, or those close to you. Practical, rational, strategic
and supportive, this short and accessible book gives you the tools you need to make the
change.
