What your anger is trying to tell you: surprising insights

You may be familiar with this: your face flushes red, your eyes narrow, your heart beats faster, and suddenly judgemental thoughts rush through your mind. Anger has taken hold of you, and the next moment you say something that makes everything even worse.

In this book, Marshall B. Rosenberg shows that, from the perspective of Non-Violent Communication, anger is not an enemy that needs to be brought under control. It is a warning signal: an indication that you are currently disconnected from what matters to you, and that one of your needs is not being met at that moment.

That is why this book is not about suppressing anger or taking it out on others in order to rid yourself of your judgements. Rosenberg shows you how to use your anger to identify the need lying behind it, and how to fulfil that need in a way that serves life.
