Review “Focused and with clarity, Stephen Dansiger makes the case for how mindfulness practice can provide us with sharpened insight and the tools to help us see our anger as the complex emotion that it is. Instead of being defined by anger and thrown into consequential actions, or fruitlessly trying to repress it, we can learn to manage anger in healthy ways. We develop the ability to respond to anger instead of reacting to it. This is a very good and helpful book.”―Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness "Is your mind on fire all of the time? Are you burning down all your relationships with anger? This book will help you get that fire contained through mindfulness. At the very least, you’ll learn how, when, and where to spark up your brain appropriately."―Marc Maron, Comic, Actor, Writer and Host of the WTF Podcast "Anger, like addiction, is often misunderstood and stigmatized. Anger can cause a lot of damage, but it's an important emotion that all humans experience. Dr. Dansiger is a master at explaining why anger should not be ignored and how we can use mindfulness skills and other tools to channel anger into healthy, self-affirming action."―Anna David, NY Times bestselling author of Party Girl “Mindfulness for Anger Management is for everyone seeking to work with this vital and often misunderstood emotion.
