This is a good little workbook to help you figure out how to get past your anger and work toward a solution. It is very simplified. I would recommend reading The Surprising Purpose of Anger (or another NVC book) first to get a more detailed description of the process and use this book to help when you are actually angry.

Dun maar handig en helder boekje dat je even op de pauzeknop doet rammen (ja, in deze stap mag je wel nog wat spreekwoordelijke frustratie kwijt) om je gevoel te ontleden. Met deze geweldloze communicatie heb je dan misschien geen instant uitlaatklep, het levert je in the long run bakken meer op.

Anger is a misunderstood emotion. I used to "stuff it down" with industrial strength. This book helped me see anger as a flashing red light. It is data telling me a boundary is being crossed. For me, being able to decode anger is empowering.

This is one of the many "personal psychology" booklets out there that offers some (vague) adivece to make your life better - in this case how to treat your anger. The 10 steps easily fit on one page, so there is really no need for printing "a book".
