Product Description
Product Description
You can feel it when it hits you. Your face flushes and your vision narrows. Your heartbeat increases as judgmental thoughts flood your mind. Your anger has been triggered, and you're about to say or do something that will likely make it worse.
You have an alternative. By practicing the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process you can use that anger to serve a specific, life-enriching purpose. It tells you that you're disconnected from what you value and that your needs are not being met. Rather than managing your anger by suppressing your feelings or blasting someone with your judgments, Marshall Rosenberg shows you how to use anger to discover what you need, and then how to meet your needs in constructive ways.
This booklet will help you apply these four key truths:
- People or events may spark your anger but your own judgments are its cause
- Judging others as "wrong" prevents you from connecting with your unmet needs
- Getting clear about your needs helps you identify solutions satisfying to everyone
- Creating strategies focused on meeting your needs transforms anger into positive actions

Excellent,
This review is from: The Surprising Purpose of Anger: Beyond Anger Management: Finding the Gift (Paperback)
As with all books by Marshall B. Rosenberg, wonderful, thoughtful, provocative, life-saving. Non-violent communication should be taught in all schools, institutions, prisons, everywhere.

By Ann S. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Surprising Purpose of Anger: Beyond Anger Management: Finding the Gift (Paperback)
I found this booklet so insightful, even life-changing. I don't need a lot of extra words, I like reading concise, on-target material. Radically shifting the experience of anger -- for only $7. That's worth five stars.

Best book on anger management. Cuts to the core,
By JC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Surprising Purpose of Anger: Beyond Anger Management: Finding the Gift (Paperback)
This book beats all the crap all there. It tells you the truth. You are angry because you have a need and it's not being met. And the problem with anger is you are just trying to get it met in the wrong way! So easy, practice self ownership. It helped me get over my anger tendencies!

By jungman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Surprising Purpose of Anger: Beyond Anger Management: Finding the Gift (Paperback)
This book was clear, to the point, and filled with information. I have never read a book on psychology (especially anger) that made this much sense. Everything the author talked about I have experienced, but couldn't express it the way he did. I have learned from this book.
