What is anger?Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defined anger as:An emotion that we feel when something gets in the way of a desired outcome or when we believe there’s a violation of the way things should be. Anger is a powerful emotion. It can make us feel strong and in control, or it can make us feel out of control and destructive. But whatever kind of anger we feel, one thing is always true: We believe that someone or something else is to blame for the situation and that something can be done about it. Anger often masks other feelings such as sadness, hurt, or fear. When we're in this mode, it's tough to think straight or have a productive conversation with the person we're angry at.
