About this ebook

Help for anger management — from NYT bestselling author Gary Chapman

Anger is a cruel master. If you struggle even a little with anger, you know how it feels to get mad too easily. To lash out at someone you love. To hold onto frustration. You might even notice others seem uneasy around you.

You know anger is hurting your life, but you don’t know how to fix it.

There is hope. When you understand why you get angry and what to do about it, you can change the course of your life for the better. In Anger: Taming a Powerful Emotion, counselor Gary Chapman shares surprising insights about anger, its effect on relationships, and how to overcome it. His advice and real-life examples will help you:

  • Understand yourself better
  • Overcome shame, denial, and bitterness
  • Discern good anger from bad anger
  • Manage anger and conflict constructively 
  • Make positive life changes
  • Let go of your grudges and resentment
  • Help others (like your children) deal with anger
    and more


Whether your anger is quiet or explosive, if it’s clouding your judgment and hurting your relationships, it needs to go. Learn to handle anger in healthy ways, starting today. Gary Chapman is wise and empathetic, and he'll help you turn over a new leaf.

Glad I read the sample prior to purchasing! No where in the summary or description is there mention of how religious-heavy this book is. I am not familiar with the author, Gary Chapman, so maybe he is known for this type of writing, but for people looking for non-religious text, this is not for you at all.

Eye opening. I started reading it to help me understand why my husband gets so angry and explosive but discovered some false teaching that I have learned over the years. It has helped me understand myself better and how to express my disappointments, frustrations and Hidden angry clearly.
