Hello Darkness, My Old Friend

About the Book

This innovative, self-help book proposes that anger is an omnipresent, albeit unpleasant, part of every person’s life, every single day. Our happiness and our success, professional, personal, and physical, is directly dependent on our ability to handle it. Using clinical vignettes as well as familiar examples from the front page and the silver screen, all aspects of anger, from sibling rivalry to mob violence, are analyzed and understood. Constructive pragmatic approaches are suggested for every conceivable frustration or confrontation. The book soothes as it illuminates. With hundreds of footnotes it is an encyclopedic overview of a vital subject.
