A quick-relief guide for calming anger in the moment—just when you need it most.

Do you struggle with problem anger? If so, you are far from alone. Sometimes anger can be a helpful emotion. It pushes us to stand up for ourselves or the people we care about—or to advocate for a cause we believe in. But sometimes, anger can become intense and overwhelming, and lead us to act in destructive or harmful ways—impacting relationships, work, and our health. So, how can you take charge of your anger before it gets the best of you?

Written by a team of anger experts, The Anger Toolkit offers evidence-based anger-cooling skills, exercises, and tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). With this powerfully effective pocket guide, you'll learn to:

  • Find calm right away with "emergency" anger management skills
  • Understand your anger, as well as your anger triggers
  • Get unstuck from anger before it gets the best of you
  • Be good to yourself by creating a life where your physical and emotional well-being are high priorities

    • If you're ready to stop letting anger rule your life, this easy-to-use guide has everything you need to stay calm, cool, and in charge of your emotions.

        Starred review from December 16, 2022

        This highly accessible volume is for those who need help to get control over their emotions. Most people have said or done something they later regret. In the heat of anger, they may not know how to control themselves to keep these regrets to a minimum. To help readers get the upper hand on their emotions, the authors, a team of anger experts, psychologists, and therapists, take on the issue in four chapters: "Get Anger Relief ASAP," "Understanding Your Anger," Detaching Yourself From Anger," and "Treating Yourself In a Positive Way." Offering an evidence-based approach, the authors provide anger-cooling skills, exercises, and suggestions. All of these are evidence-based treatments relying upon cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies and neurological sciences. Readers will learn how to understand their anger, what triggers this emotion, how to recognize the early signs, learn how to manage them, and how to be kind to oneself in the process. In each chapter, there are multiple suggestions to help gain control over one's emotions. VERDICT Best suited for those interested in self-help, psychology, and social work.
