Being the master of your emotions helps you in all areas of your life; therefore, this book is a must-read. Wasps are a central motif—and, at least the way I read it, an allegory for female anger. The way we feel emboldened when part of a hive, the way we sting anyone who gets too close.)

As part of their cognitive restructuring, angry people need to become aware of their demanding nature and translate their expectations into desires. In other words, saying, “I would like” something is healthier than saying, “I demand” or “I must have” something. When you’re unable to get what you want, you will experience the normal reactions—frustration, disappointment, hurt—but not anger. Some angry people use this anger as a way to avoid feeling hurt, but that doesn’t mean the hurt goes away. Problem solving You may not like what I’m about to say, but please hear me out. Referring to dealing with anger as “ anger management” is a bit flawed. (I know; we have to name to it somehow, and this is the terminology we have; so, we must dance with it.) Yes, there might be individuals around us that know how to push our buttons, but let’s be honest with ourselves and answer to this question: Could anyone push our buttons if we wouldn’t have any buttons to push?If put in stressful situations (when dealing with others) you have only two choices on how to respond. Letting Go of Anger: The Eleven Most Common Anger Styles And What to Do About Them – Ronald Potter-Efron, Patricia Potter-Efron But the rotting Hiraeth Manor is not what she expected, and Effy isn’t the only one who’s made a temporary home there. Preston Héloury, a pretentious literature scholar, is determined to prove her favorite author is a fraud. As the two rival students investigate the reclusive author’s legacy, piecing together clues through his written ephemera, they discover dark forces, both mortal and magical, conspiring against them. The only way to rise up against these forces is to let her rival in beyond her barbed edges, but can she bury her trauma deep enough to allow that to happen?

It’s true that angry people need to learn to become assertive (rather than aggressive), but most books and courses on developing assertiveness are aimed at people who don’t feel enough anger. These people are more passive and acquiescent than the average person; they tend to let others walk all over them. That isn’t something that most angry people do. Still, these books can contain some useful tactics to use in frustrating situations. Several decades before that, Theodore Roosevelt similarly bemoaned the “absence of effective state, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting” which “has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power”.

Research and Practice

The third section of this book is the longest part. There are so many ways that we express our anger in distorted ways. An example of this is joking. Someone will make a cutting remark and when you call them on it they will often say, "Well I was just joking." His use of short, to the point chapters really helps the reader get through this section succinctly. Of course, not all of the expressions are relative to us, but it's good to recognize them. Because anger is filled with energy, you can’t just stop being angry and do nothing with that energy; you must move it somewhere else, give to it a different purpose. After the mysterious death of their best friend, Ella, Yuki, and Rory are the talk of their elite school, Grimrose Académie. The police ruled Ariane’s death as a suicide, but the trio is determined to find out what really happened. As they retrace their friend’s final days, they discover a dark secret about Grimrose—Ariane wasn’t the first dead girl, and she certainly won’t be the last.

If the title doesn’t already have you sold, allow me to further convince you. Like all the other writers on this list, Danforth employs one of my favorite dark academia devices—fictional authors and books within the world, which are central to solving the central mystery. As an ex(anger) sufferer, allow me to tell you this: Learn how to become more in control of your emotions, expectations from others, frustrations, sense of entitlement, and you’ll discover a new way of living – feeling happy, calm,and collected! The thing with anger and rage is that when you’re in one of those episodes, you see red; and blowing up seems the logical course of action… to the unhappiness of those around and yourself.Anger is “an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage,” according to Charles Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger. Like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of your energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. But let’s not go that far, and think about the present moment. Let’s say it, loud and clear – angry men (individuals) can’t possibly be happy. But soon more monsters emerge from the shadows, threatening to drag her down into the underworld where she belongs, and she must decide whether external validation is really worth the pain and bloodshed. If you feel that your anger is really out of control, if it is having an impact on your relationships and on important parts of your life, you might consider counseling to learn how to handle it better. A psychologist or other licensed mental health professional can work with you in developing a range of techniques for changing your thinking and your behavior. Even the long and ponderous New Yorker profile of Scott from earlier this month came to life when he was given free rein to just riff about whatever happened to be ambiently passing through his mind, which at that point in time was baboons. “Can you hang from that roof for two hours by your left leg?” he asked his interviewer. “No! A baboon can.”
