One day I realized that I am an easily angered person - and have acted in ways I am not proud of. This book gave me hope in knowing that anger isn't something to be repressed, but used appropriately. Les Carter goes through what assertive and aggressive anger looks like, why people use aggressive anger, and in the final chapter gives 12 ways to use anger constructively. If you have come to the realization that anger has been destructive in your life, regardless if you are Christian (because this book does have Christian philosophies), I highly recommend this book for it's clear and applicable information.
