Synopsis

Mindfulness for Anger Management puts mindfulness into action with transformative skills and real strategies for overcoming anger and taking control of powerful emotions.

Mindfulness is more than a philosophy for anger management--it's a daily practice. Transforming wisdom into actionable exercises, Mindfulness for Anger Management equips you with concrete skills and strategies to overcome anger with mindfulness.

Dr. Stephen Dansiger, a licensed therapist with 25 years of experience combining evidence-based therapeutic methods and spiritual practices, turns your gaze inward to understand anger triggers and address accompanying thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. With a focus on the real-life areas that anger impacts--home, work, and relationships--the self-reflective exercises and practical tactics in Mindfulness for Anger Management allow you to take control of your emotions and live every moment mindfully.

Mindfulness for Anger Management helps you recycle angry energy, see it for what it is, and allow you to manage anger and other difficult emotions with:

• An introduction to anger management that defines different kinds of anger from frustration and annoyance to aggression and rage, and includes self-assessments to measure your personal anger level.
• Practical exercises that combine evidence-based emotion regulation techniques with mindfulness skills in self-assessments, checklists, and reflective prompts to equip you to handle anger when it strikes.
• Real-world applications that focus on how anger affects life, including work, relationships, and personal well-being.

Anger is a natural component of our emotional experiences, but it can also consume us if left unchecked. Mindfulness for Anger Management gives you a skill set and mindset that will change your relationship to anger and empower you to run your own life.
