The Anger Trap

It's easy to identify rage in people who lose their temper at
traffic jams, unruly children, unresponsive coworkers, and
unrealistic bosses. But we may not recognize more subtle
manifestations of anger, such as being uncomfortable with loose
ends, acting impatiently, or being overly critical. That is anger,
too. And, as is so often the case, angry folks don't seem to
realize that the behavior causing them problems at home or at work
actually stems from unrecognized and unresolved pain and emotional
injuries from the past. Is all this negative emotion inevitable, or
are there choices about how to respond, choices that can improve
personal relationships as well as emotional health?

The Anger Trap is a landmark book that strips away the
myths and misconceptions about anger and reveals how you can learn
to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anger so that you may
choose--or help someone else to choose--a better, more
spiritually enlightened path. The Anger Trap examines the
root causes of anger and can help you realize your patterns and
break the destructive cycles of criticism, frustration, and
irritation that hurt you and others around you. Drawing insight
from timeless spiritual wisdom as well as cutting-edge research,
Dr. Carter offers practical techniques to free you from anger, its
hidden insecurities, fears, and selfishness and thereby improve the
quality of your home and workplace life. The book clearly
illustrates how the change process works and The Anger Trap
is filled with real-life examples of the ways people have come to
terms with their anger by applying the concepts Dr. Carter
outlines.
