We’ve all heard the stereotypes: older adults should be mellow, content, and emotionally detached. Anger, they say, is for the young. But what if this outdated belief is holding you back? What if true well-being comes from embracing your anger rather than suppressing it? Embracing Anger is a new guide to transformative aging.

Drawing from key insights of my book, Aging Angry, it offers six chapters and worksheets dealing with a range of topics:

  • The surprising upsides of anger in later life

  • The pressure to act your age

  • Your body’s anger signals

  • Anger as your wake up call

  • Claiming your mojo

  • Getting the support you need

I hope you’ll find it an invigorating tool for living a rich and full emotional life.
