Summary

What is anger? Who is allowed to be angry? How can we manage our anger? How can we use it? It might seem like a day doesn’t go by without some troubling explosion of anger, whether we’re shouting at the kids, or the TV, or the driver ahead who’s slowing us down.

In this audiobook, the first of its kind, Dr. Ryan Martin draws on 20 years plus of research, as well as his own childhood experience of an angry parent, to take an all-round view on this often-challenging emotion. It explains exactly what anger is, why we get angry, how our anger hurts us as well as those around us, and how we can manage our anger and even channel it into positive change. It also explores how race and gender shape society’s perceptions of who is allowed to get angry.

Dr. Martin offers questionnaires, emotion logs, control techniques and many other tools to help listeners understand better what pushes their buttons and what to do with angry feelings when they arise. It shows how to differentiate good anger from bad anger, and reframe anger from being a necessarily problematic experience in our lives to being a fuel that energizes us to solve problems, release our creativity, and confront injustice.

Narration by a human trying to be a computer

I got to about 25% through this Audible book and just could not go on. The narration is stodgy, mechanical and lacks all emotion. This is, after all, a book about emotion, so why on earth use a narrator that lacks it!

I'm sure there will be some nuggets of info in here somewhere, but nothing in the first 25% has made me want to progress through.

Not sure I could listen any more, no matter what the content.

Not my cup of tea.
