The Anger Toolkit: Quick Tools to Manage Intense Emotions & Keep Your Cool
Calm anger in the moment—when you need it most!
Do you struggle with problem anger? If so, you are far from alone. Sometimes anger can be a helpful emotion. It pushes us to stand up for ourselves or the people we care about—or to advocate for a cause we believe in. But sometimes, anger can become intense and overwhelming, and lead us to act in destructive or harmful ways—impacting relationships, work, and our health. So, how can you take charge of your anger before it gets the best of you?
Written by a team of anger experts, The Anger Toolkit offers quick anger-cooling skills, exercises, and tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you put out the fires. If you’re ready to stop letting anger rule your life, this easy-to-use guide has everything you need to stay calm, cool, and in charge of your emotions. Discover evidence-based tools to:
Get unstuck from anger
Find calm right away
Create lasting emotional balance
