Book Reviews of Anger: Handling a Powerful Emotion in a Healthy Way

Book Review: Chapman's Book Great Tool in your anger toolbox
Summary: 5 Stars

I listened to the book on CD. I do not expect all of the issues that relate to anger will be addressed by one book or source, because anger is a complicated emotion. But that's just it...Chapman simplifies it by first validating that anger is a Godly trait, and we are capable of anger because we are made in the image of God. As I understand Chapman's point, Godly anger happens when one experiences something that is immoral, that which is contrary to the character and holiness of God. It is not Godly, for example, if it results only from my lack of patience, or an incorrect understanding of the facts of a situation. Anger can be righteous/real (I think Chapman may have used other words) or distorted. Because my having anger is validated, my fight in that moment against feeling shameful for merely feeling anger disappears, clearing the way so I can more accurately view the situation. Then the only issue is how I choose to handle it. Chapman explains how to discern real from distorted anger, and gives very practical advice in a wide array of specific examples. He also presents practical steps for handling anger in the future. This book gave me valuable insight into instances of anger that range from getting annoyed when I am tired, to responding to a misunderstanding with a person I love whom I know would never intend to anger me. Much of the help comes from being able to validate the emotion of anger, and gain an intellectual distance from it in the moment that anger occurs. Thank you, Chapman.

Summary of Anger: Handling a Powerful Emotion in a Healthy Way

A relative makes a tactless comment about your child's weight. The guy behind you on the expressway follows too closely. Your wife lets the gas tank go down to empty...again.

We live in an angry society.  From road rage to workplace incidents to marital bickering, out-of-control anger is all around us.  How can we handle our anger--and help those we love with theirs?  How can we teach our children to deal with their anger?  And what about those long-simmering feelings of anger toward people in our past?  What's the difference between "bad" and "good" anger?  Bestselling author and relationship expert Dr. Gary Chapman offers helpful--and sometimes surprising--insights on why we get angry, what we can do about it, and how we can use anger for good.

Includes a 13-session discussion guide perfect for small groups, workplace studies, and book clubs. Each chapter ends with reflection questions.
