ABOUT THE AUTHOR
INTRODUCTION
––––––––
Commonly, you can feel anger in confronting a challenge, because you may feel frustrated and irritated by having to face the situation. You may feel anger at the person or persons who are part of this situation or have led you into having to deal with what occurred. You may see them as obstacles, rivals, or otherwise in the way of what you want to do. Or you may experience anger for other reasons.
Whatever the source of your anger, it can have negative consequences, such as a loss of friendship, love, and support. It can even escalate a conflict into a life and death struggle. But at other times, anger can fuel creative and positive change in oneself, in one’s relationships, and in society as a whole. So a good strategy is to control and manage that anger by acting from choice and wisdom to do the right thing. For anger is one of the mechanisms that contribute to one’s survival and success when it is used effectively.
The following chapters feature the comments and quotes of many well-known persons about dealing with anger, along with illustrations that reflect these sentiments. The quotes are organized by the different themes reflected in these comments, which include:
- the pervasiveness of anger,
- the consequences of expressing anger,
- understanding the reasons for anger,
- how anger can hurt you,
- how anger can alienate you from others,
- how to control or get rid of your anger.
I have included the source for each comment, although sometimes these attributions draw on an even earlier source, such as ancient Greek writers and Buddhist sages. Where it’s known, I have included the original source.
THE PERVASIVENESS OF ANGER
Anger is everywhere, since it is a survival mechanism that helps us be assertive in threatening situations or at times when we need to overcome a challenge to gain an advantage. It helps us fight if necessary. Sometimes, anger can be a response to a perceived problem—from anger at oneself for an error or flaw to anger against other individuals or society as a whole.
But at other times, anger can lead to great suffering, as well as the angry person being negatively viewed by others. Often a person who is angry will find still more reason to be angry, because of these feelings of suffering or being rejected by others. And commonly responding with anger can become a habit, so those angry feelings are even more likely to grow.
In short, anger is pervasive. Sometimes it can be used for the good, but often it leads to negative consequences.
The following quotes describe how this anger can turn into a common response to everything or gain disapproval from others.
Show me an angry man, and I’ll show you someone who gets things done.

Anger is like food for the soul. It helps one survive and thrive, since anger teaches us to fight when necessary, just as flight can help us get away when it makes no sense to fight.
