Rage Within: Anger in Modern Life

by Willard Gaylin

In "Rage Within" the author explores how the emotions of fear and anger both may have served humanity well before civilization. As part of our biological responses similar to the body's own fight or flight response these emotions were crucial to our survival. Today with survival no longer the same affair for modern man as it was for his ancestors the author explains hiw fear and anger have turned inward and destructive. He elaborates upon how anger influences our modern life in this poignant and compelling book from his own unique vantage point as a noted psychiatrist. While there is some focus on the urban dweller and the demands upon them in today's society, this book is eye opener on how anger and fesr affects an individual and community regardless of where one might live.
