1-1 What is Anger?Everyone gets angry at times. But few of us understand the process of anger,. Did you know that Anger is a secondary emotion and that there are only a few basic reasons we experience anger?

1-4 Approaches to Anger
Perhaps you've watch the movie "Anger Management" with Jack Nicholson, Adam Sandler, Marisa Tomei, and Luis Guzman. The movie follows Nicholson's journey through Anger. And it works! Or is it just a movie?
What if Anger Management isn't the only or best approach to removing Anger from our lives?
I want to give you another option that doesn't try to hide/suppress/replace anger but actually removes destructive anger from our emotional toolbox.
Once you have successfully completed this course you are eligible to start the next course in the series.
As with all things, you get out of the course the amount of effort you are willing to put into it, so take your time!
Because we all have anger at times, we think we know a lot about it. But that's not true.
For example, consider these questions about anger.
What is the process that leads to anger? What are the primary motivations behind anger? What are the multiple expressions of anger?
If you don't know the answers to these questions, then you will learn much from this lesson. And what you learn will help you and help you understand other's anger better!
1. Getting started is the hardest part of Yielding Anger. If you can complete these first few lessons then you are more likely to finish the next lessons (and so on).
2. I want you to get a taste of the course before you fully commit. This is a low-risk way for you to determine the value of the course for you.
3. I'm lazy. There's no reason for us to spend time and effort with purchasing and refunding lessons so this helps avoid that process.
