English Summary/英文概要： It’s Time to Listen to Your Anger

Anger is a natural response to feelings of hurt, betrayal, and embarrassment, and a reliable outlet when we feel just plain stressed out. Yet many of us see anger as a negative, potentially dangerous emotion that should be suppressed.

But the truth is, anger is a gift—a natural, internal signal that unfailingly identifies an opportunity for healing and growth. The Gift of Anger shows you how to recognize this signal, discover the deeper meaning behind your anger, and change the relationships and situations in your life that frustrate you. In seven simple and effective steps, this book guides you past any level of anger, from mild irritation to rage, and toward a balanced approach to using anger for greater understanding and well-being.

By learning to see anger as a gift, you’ll be able to:

* Regain emotional balance after becoming angry
* Identify and name the unmet needs at the root of your anger
* Create an action plan for ensuring your needs are met
* Understand and forgive others and have compassion for yourself

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 静下心来，听一听你“心中的愤怒”在说什么？
面对伤害、背叛时，愤怒是一种很自然的反应，这时候紧张的神经需要释放，但是，很多时候我们会将愤怒归为一种消极情绪，并认为它对我们的健康存在潜在的威胁。
但其实，你更应该把“愤怒”作为一种礼物来对待，因为它是你内在情绪的一种信号。在本书中，你会学会如何来意识到这个信号，并了解隐含在愤怒之后的深层意味，从而来改善人际关系和事情的发展方向。书中的七个步骤，让你从愤怒趋向平静，并且通过这一过程实现更多的自我完善。
产生愤怒的情绪后，要尽快重新找到一个使情绪得以控制的平衡点
找出未能满足的需求，愤怒情绪产生的根源
付诸行动，保证自身所需得以满足
理解和原谅别人，同时也要宽慰自己(FSF)

Awards/获奖情况：Using anger-resolution techniques learned from other therapists and refined for her own clients, psychotherapist Cannon offers a seven-step blueprint for utilizing the positive potential of anger while dissolving its negative impulse. Cannon’s process includes recognizing physical symptoms and mental patterns of anger and using a safe method, such as breathing deeply, to discharge one’s initial rush of emotion; describing feelings about the anger-provoking experience by writing a self-discovery letter; and writing an affirmation statement that one’s feelings and actions during the anger-provoking experience were correct. The other steps are identifying one’s unmet need; deciding how to fill this need and taking manageable steps to do so, congratulating oneself after each step; exploring the other person’s frame of reference during the angering incident; and freeing oneself by offering forgiveness to the person who angered one. If you’re angry with yourself, Cannon offers a twist on the original with a nine-step gift-of-anger process, but this feels confusing and tacked on. The writing is pedestrian throughout, and although Cannon’s process provides many helpful tools for self-knowledge and the harnessing of one’s emotional turmoil, her anger-resolution techniques are best suited to accompany professional therapy or anger management sessions.

Cannon化解愤怒的过程首先是通过一系列安全的方法，例如深呼吸、描述愤怒产生的过程等，来认识到身体的症状和心里模式；然后要分析未能满足的心里要求，决定如何采用有效方式来使这些要求得到满足，没做完一部都要给自己一个鼓励。之后参照分析令你生气的“元凶”，尽量去理解并原谅他们。如果愤怒来自于自己，Cannon提供了“九步法”。虽然她的这些方法对于人们自我认知和控制情绪提供了很多有利工具，但它更像是一种专业疗法或愤怒情绪管理课程。---From Publishers Weekly
