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).
