Discover the life-enriching purpose of anger. When we're angry, we tend to get caught up in ideas of right versus wrong - moralistic judgments about the wrongness of a person's behavior. As the tension builds, we're taught to control our anger before it leads to behavior we'll regret. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers a different approach to anger management. In this concise booklet, you'll learn to view anger as a life-enriching emotion that can wake us up to what we need and value. Neill Gibson and Shari Klein offer a powerful, step-by-step approach to transform anger to find healthy, mutually satisfying outcomes.

Where does anger come from? This booklet points out three things that are happening when we are angry:

• We're upset because we're not getting our needs met
• We're blaming someone or something else for not getting what we want
• We're about to speak or act in a way that guarantees we will not get what we want
