Over the last twenty-five years of teaching anger management, Dr. Parker has pioneered a unique approach--anger is good. This is an undeniable truth no matter your belief system. Either God made you in his likeness and he declared his creation good, or the evolutionary process naturally selects those species with the capacity for anger. Either way, we have the capacity to feel anger for a purpose, so the logical extension of this truth is that our challenge is not to shut it down but to understand the purpose of anger and how to use it advantageously to improve our lives. When we try to not be angry, the problems simply become worse.
In this book, Dr. Parker teaches everyone the purpose of anger and how to harness its power. You will learn a step-by-step flow of relationships and how your mind works from mental perception to primary emotions to anger. Dr. Parker shows you how to use your anger to make effective changes within you. This will be at multiple levels from your thinking to primary emotions to self-care. Finally, he gives you a powerful step-by-step model for you to process situations through so you transform from an angry, bitter person into a powerful, engaging, determined, influential, and compassionate problem solver.
Dr. Parker's techniques are for everyone. This book can help you manage your anger, be a better communicator, establish boundaries, be assertive, and better understand your family and friends.
