Anger Without Destruction. The Main Book on Managing Strong Emotions According to the ACT Method

A guide to anger management in the ACT approach (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Scientific data and exercises will help you to explode less and blame yourself less after outbursts of anger. Learn to accept your feelings and consciously choose your reactions—so you can build your life without surrendering to the impulses of rage.

Acting under the influence of anger is a path to nowhere. However, fighting it is also costly: draining energy, painful regrets, loss of close relationships, difficulties in study and work, stress, alcohol, poor well-being… What to do? Stop fighting.

The authors—experts in behavioral therapy—reveal the mechanism of anger and its causes, the 5 main myths about anger and aggression, and provide numerous practices. Instead of suppression, they recommend distinguishing anger before the "explosion" and drawing energy from it for meaningful and controlled actions. The foundation is based on a modern and scientifically grounded method, ACT.

This guide will discuss acceptance and compassion regarding both your own anger, resentment, pain, and thoughts, as well as the feelings of others. Also discussed is how anger is related to feelings of shame and vulnerability. The book aims to weaken the chains of destructive emotions through mindfulness training, empathy, and orientation towards personal values.

You will learn how to reduce the suffering that anger causes you and your loved ones: whether you "ignite" quickly or suppress yourself. Learn to react in ways you never have before. This will redirect your energy and attention to the life you want to live. A bestseller that has been republished for 20 years and has helped thousands of people escape the trap of anger.
