We all struggle with angry feelings, brought on by tension, pressure, and the blocked goals and frustrations of day-to-day life. The broken and stressed relationships that result from these feelings can overwhelm us. But now there's help.

Their message is clear: as we deal with anger, we deal with the primary cause for all destructive emotions.  
  
With the help of this useful book, you too can overcome those emotions that destroy.
