About this listen
'A marvellous book ... enhances our understanding of ourselves and others' IRVINE WELSH
One of the best books to look out for in 2025 – The Independent
How a misunderstood emotion can offer you clarity, purpose and strength
We are used to complaining there is too much anger in the world. But what about the cost of having too little? And what if, instead of fearing anger, we learned to use it wisely?
In Good Anger, journalist Sam Parker investigates how one of our most complex emotions became a taboo and the cost that suppressing it has on our mental and physical health, relationships and society. He argues that, rather than trip us up or fill us with shame, anger can be turned into a life-enhancing source of bravery, purpose and self-respect.
Drawing on insights from psychology, ancient philosophy and emotional science, Parker looks at the gendered expectations around anger, how repressed rage shows up in our bodies, and the crucial role processing anger plays in treating depression and anxiety. We learn how understanding anger can improve every facet of our lives, from love to creativity to professional success.
This provocative and seemingly counterintuitive book is for people-pleasers, conflict avoiders and self-improvers. It reminds us that embracing our emotions – even the ones that scare or confuse us – can help us become stronger, happier people.©2025 Sam Parker (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

I can't eloquently explain the impact that it has had on me. But, it is the only book that as I've got near the end of it I've thought "As soon as I finish, I'm going to start this book over again".
I've always said that "I just dont really get angry" I now realise that I obviously do, and I now have something in place to address and acknowledge that feeling.
Thank you for writing this.
