Poor Anger Management

Most books about anger tell you why you get angry and then give you a long list of things you should be doing about it. Poor Anger Management takes a different approach.

It begins with eight days inside the head of a man struggling to control his anger. Everyday frustrations, annoying people, traffic, work, queues, family life and bad decisions all become part of a week in which even the smallest inconvenience can feel like a personal battle. Honest, funny and occasionally ridiculous, it is a diary for anyone who has ever wondered why little things can make them so bloody angry.

Once the diary is over, things get lighter with a collection of anger related jokes and quotes before moving into eleven practical self help methods. From recognising triggers and creating a pause before reacting to changing the way you think about frustrating situations, each method offers something realistic to try.

No lectures. No miracle cures. No promises that you will suddenly become the calmest person in the room. Just one man, eight days, a few laughs and some practical ideas that might help you understand your anger a little better and handle it differently.
