ANGRY MEN:

Managing Anger in an Unforgiving World

(2nd Edition)

Lynne McClure, Ph.D.

Anger can make you ill . . . and

even kill if not managed well!

o you have trouble controlling your anger? Do you sometimes embarrass your-
self and others with your angry outbursts? Have you experienced relationship,
D workplace, and legal problems because of your anger? Do you let your anger
control you . . . and thus create someone you even dislike?
Written with the emotional needs of men in mind, this book explores the numerous
triggers that can provoke anger in men. In clear, easy-to-understand language, it
outlines steps men can take to better manage their anger and emerge as men who
are in control of their lives instead of being controlled by their anger.
Twenty-two real-life stories describe the devastating impact of anger on men and
those around them. Indeed, out of control anger can destroy the three things you
probably value the most – personal relationships, your job, and your health. Your anger
may get you into legal trouble, from weeks of court-mandated anger management
classes to a loss of property, a divorce, an arrest, a conviction, and time served in jail.
In addition to creating serious physical and mental health problems (heart disease,
high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep disorders, stress, depression), anger often takes
control of you, sending you down a self-destructive path to nowhere – a path that can
have major consequences for you as well as your loved ones, friends, and colleagues.
Here’s the book that puts men’s anger in perspective and offers seasoned advice on
how to avoid deadly anger traps. Each chapter includes “Ask Yourself” questions to
help you better understand anger by getting you to think about what caused your #2684 February 2018
