Section 4: Tackling the hard cases
Chapter 14; I’ll never get over it

Humbling to read about how anger permeates my days from petty things to big things.

His descriptions of anger (or the problematic lack of any) are spot-on: burning rage, icy glares, apathetic inaction. Look out for your particular brand!

This chapter’s solution: anger at the right things for the right motives. Fixing your reactions to lead to justice and mercy rather than self-righteous affront at your will being thwarted.

Chapter 13: Eight Questions- Taking Your Anger Apart to Put Back Together

I like Powlison’s approach so far. He makes you think about all the little things that present as something else, but are really, at their root, anger. Irritable, complaining, grumbling, giving the silent treatment, ignoring, freezing out, fuming, etc etc

He doesn’t let you off the hook, but he doesn’t take you over the coals, either. A good counseling book so far.
