Anger Management 101

Book excerpt: Too often we are taught that anger is the motivation we need to influence change in our world. In reality, the ability to influence any level of change in our world comes from having a logical and goal oriented thought process. In life there are plenty of things that we will experience that are unjust and unfair, but when we focus on unfairness in our lives, we waste precious energy we should be using in finding solutions for our problems. Taming the Beast Within is about learning to be at peace with the most difficult of feelings as a result of unfavorable, disrespectful, hurtful, and sometimes harmful actions from others toward us. This is a process that needs to be mastered so that when we find ourselves in such circumstances, we can be in a clear mind-set to take action to heal and help ourselves.
