Not all anger is negative, though. It can sometimes serve as a motivator for change or a boundary-setter in certain situations. However, when anger becomes excessive or uncontrolled, it can harm both ourselves and those around us.

The Anger Control Workbook: A Roadmap to Emotional Mastery

Dr. Tafrate's "The Anger Control Workbook" provides a step-by-step guide to help individuals gain control over their anger and develop healthier ways to express their emotions. The workbook is divided into multiple chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of anger management.
