Summary

It's easy to identify rage in people who lose their temper at traffic jams, unruly children, unresponsive coworkers, and unrealistic bosses. But we may not recognize more subtle manifestations of anger, such as being uncomfortable with loose ends, acting impatiently, or being overly critical. That is anger, too. And, as is so often the case, angry folks don't seem to realize that the behavior causing them problems at home or at work actually stems from unrecognized and unresolved pain and emotional injuries from the past. Is all this negative emotion inevitable, or are there choices about how to respond, choices that can improve personal relationships as well as emotional health?

The Anger Trap is a landmark book that strips away the myths and misconceptions about anger and reveals how you can learn to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anger so that you may choose or help someone else to choose a better, more spiritually enlightened path. The Anger Trap examines the root causes of anger and can help you realize your patterns and break the destructive cycles of criticism, frustration, and irritation that hurt you and others around you.

Drawing insight from timeless spiritual wisdom as well as cutting-edge research, Dr. Carter offers practical techniques to free you from anger, its hidden insecurities, fears, and selfishness and thereby improve the quality of your home and workplace life. The book clearly illustrates how the change process works and The Anger Trap is filled with real-life examples of the ways people have come to terms with their anger by applying the concepts Dr. Carter outlines.

Absolutely brilliant - life changing

Rarely do I completely finish a “self-help” book. Usually the value declines the further you get into the book, or it repeats itself.
This book offers insights all the way through. An easy listen, written in such an unusual style and split into really useful chapters.
If you have lived with anger (consciously or sun-consciously) this is the book for you.
I’ve only just finished it, and I want to read it again just to get those pearls of wisdom firmly embedded.
I have already put a couple of suggestions into use, and was surprised at the positive results, both for me (feelings wise) and for the outcome.
Highly recommend! Thank you Les Carter!

Bad Advice

The book's advice concerning abusive relationships scenarios raises significant concerns suggesting acceptance of abuse as a means to manage anger. However, a more comprehensive approach advocating for healthy boundaries, leaving toxic relationships, and considering no contact with harmful individuals would provide a more balanced and helpful perspective. It might be beneficial to offer alternative strategies for readers facing abusive situations.
