    About this ebook

    The Life-Enriching Purpose of Anger—When we're angry, we tend to get caught up in moralistic judgments about the wrongness of the other person's behavior. As the tension builds, the best we've learned is to control our anger before it leads to behavior we'll regret. This concise booklet offers a different approach to anger management. By applying the concepts of the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process you'll learn to view anger as a life-enriching emotion that can wake us up to what we need and value. Neill Gibson and Shari Klein offer a powerful, step-by-step approach that successfully transforms anger into healthy, mutually satisfying outcomes.

    Get to know the 10 Steps to Transforming Anger So Everyone Wins. If you're an anger management counselor or teach anger management classes, this booklet will give you a fresh and life-changing approach to enhance your techniques. If you've had difficulties dealing with your anger in constructive ways, this booklet will help you transform anger into compassionate connection, healthier communication, and life-serving actions.
