Surprisingly, I had a pretty paradoxical effect to "The Anger Myth". The author starts by saying that this book has "the potential to change your life forever" and that in itself is a pretty narcissistic statement. In addition, the author attacks theories with a huge background of research (Ie. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's, 5 stages of grieving) with very little research done on the part of her theory. The author states one shouldn't be angry over anything in life, even traumatic experiences, placing victims of bullying, assault, and sexual violence in the wrong if they are angry about their trauma. The author describes a life that is anger-free as "juicy", and I believe there are many reasons that one does not need a "juicy" life.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read The Anger Myth by Trish Ahjel Roberts. This book was very informative and enlightening about the different aspects of Anger. There were multiple times I read something and connected it to my own life and experience and it helped make sense of it. The practice exercises at the end of each chapter were every helpful and I enjoyed doing them as well. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was how there were parts that seemed repetitive.
